Poor uneducated parents: A couple of things: 1) We have made a cultural paradigm shift in the last 100 years. The ancestors cannot pass on the needed education. We no long need to learn how to read an animal track, or skin a moose or survive in the wilderness. 2) The kids need to learn how to survive in a new world where computer science and quantitative analysis must be understood to survive well. Ancestors or extended families can be little help unless they are educated and know these things already; in which case they are not the population we are discussing. What works best if for government to design and organize a program to address this problem. In the 60's most states had no comprehensive emergency medical services system. As hard as that is to believe. The feds offered states a few million dollars each if they would write and implement a comprehensive emergency medical services system of 15 components with goals, objectives and methodology starting with access the patient, stabilizing them, and transporting them to outpatient. Today every state has a comprehensive emergency medical services system with thousands of trained emergency medical technicians trained to stabilize a person on the scene. We need to do the same for the poor's children by starting with free pre school with meals. With free preschools not only will the child get a fresh start at life able to compete with the rich kids, but--- Ironically as they continue to learn, they will teach their parents!
