>>12300562>scientificallyThere is no science in social economics.
There are -many- causes.
There are the lazy, those who make poor life decisions, and those who are poor despite efforts.
Those who make poor life decisions are either stupid or are deceived by their environment for lack of teaching or perspective.
For example, gang members often lure kids by lending them money to show off to their friends, which leads to those kids being caught in a debt scheme, and forced to spend their time selling drugs on the street and getting shot, instead of more productive things.
People can be poor despite their effort simply by being in a poor neighborhood.
Poor neighborhoods attract a certain culture of people (lazy, dumb, tricked, frustrated) whose traits are passed onto their children, resulting in unproductive classes where time is mostly spent wrangling kids, and mostly failing to motivate them into "seeing the point of school"
Finally, policy makers often lack experience with being poor, and the resulting inability to empathize results in those with power misallocating resources.
Many kids are unable to "see the point of school" simply because the teaching methods are wrong.
i.e. kids hate history because you are testing them on memorizing dates, events, and textbook passages, rather than analyzing the general flow of events and attempting to empathize with people of the past.
