I think it has to do with poverty. I'm afraid many poor students do not believe in the value of a good education.
Their role models are different and don't emphasize education. Poor kids can only imitate and aspired to people surrounding them.
BINGO...
Poverty is a BS excuse...many kids have grown up in poverty and excelled in School.
