Best Antidote to Poverty!

The antidote for poverty is education. Economy can grown in the long term by a mass of education. This is what its called " the most important escalator out of poverty" and that is education. The teacher quality is what matter is education and dedication to it.

One of the best books in recent years by two Harvard economists, claims that the obstacle of education and getting out of poverty isn't teachers, but the problems at home, uninvolved parents and broken down communities. There broader problems are very difficult to solve. The answer to those is to improve education.

Teachers have been extraordinarily effective in some of very troubled regions. The variance from class to class in elementary school is greater than the variance from school to school.

There is another problem, most affective teachers from America reserve for upper middle white class kinds and are less effective for troubled kinds who already have disadvantages. A solution to that would be a combination of higher compensation to draw teacher to more challenging schools.

This is part of a civil rights issue. Black members of Congress are not helpful on school reform, are not involved in it, but there are some black politicians who have been pushed for evidence based school reform, including Cory Booker and Barack Obama.
