Gates Foundation Ignores Poverty's Hold on Student Performance



Education Week, June 19, 2018
To the Editor:
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation wants to "diagnose the root cause of poor performance" by investing $68 million to expand education grantmaking abroad ("The Gates Foundation's Education Plans Go International," Curriculum Matters blog, June 3, 2018). But we already know what causes poor performance. Study after study over many decades has concluded that poverty is the culprit.
Until our country's government and citizens take steps to substantially reduce and eventually eliminate poverty by ensuring every person has full employment at a living wage, we can do a lot to protect students from the negative impact of poverty. Many low-income children suffer from food deprivation, lack of medical care, and lack of access to books&—all of which affect their school performance. We can invest more in food programs, medical care and school nurses, and libraries and librarians.
The Gates Foundation seems to have no interest in doing this. Instead, the foundation seems to be concerned about better data analysis and improving teaching and classroom practice. The best teaching in the world will have no effect if students are hungry, ill, or have nothing to read.

  1. Organizations like the Gates Foundation will never address the actual causes but will throw billions of dollars at window dressing programs. Once they decide to move onto the next shiny toy, they'll shrug and say, "well, we tried, but obviously investing in 'those people' is a waste of money, so let's put our resources into what we know works--aka, people like us." In some ways, that's even worse than wasting millions of children's childhoods.

  3. This would be true (poverty being the cause of illiteracy) if kids from rich background, with all sorts of books available, do not leave school as illiterates. All the more than 60 kids I had taught on a one on one basis since 2004 were from rich families.Why were they not able to read in English when they came to me for tuition? Why were they able to read in Malay and Hanyu Pinyin but unable to read in English?
    The answer is simply because these kids had shut down from learning to read as a result of confusion. The teachers had taught them Phonemes wrongly.
    Read my book 'Shut down kids' available on Amazon and you will see that my findings are based on excellent corroborative evidence.

  4. Deborah Nam-Krane, what is the actual causes.
    The main cause of kids leaving school as illiterates is that sounds of alphabets are taught wrongly. As a result, kids shut down from learning to read. AND then Stephen Krashen says that he will change the teaching of phonics as the best method from an axiom to an hypothesis.

  5. Stephen Krashen does not know how alphabet sounds should be taught and he has the audacity to say that he wants to implement teaching 'Whole Language'.
    I have invited him to comment on my post and have yet to receive a respond.

  8. As claimed by Stanford Medical, It's in fact the one and ONLY reason this country's women live 10 years more and weigh an average of 42 lbs lighter than we do.

    (And by the way, it has totally NOTHING to do with genetics or some secret-exercise and really, EVERYTHING to do with "how" they are eating.)

    BTW, I said "HOW", and not "WHAT"...

  9. This is how my friend Wesley Virgin's biography launches in this SHOCKING AND CONTROVERSIAL video.

    As a matter of fact, Wesley was in the military-and shortly after leaving-he revealed hidden, "SELF MIND CONTROL" secrets that the CIA and others used to get everything they want.

    THESE are the EXACT same secrets tons of famous people (especially those who "became famous out of nothing") and the greatest business people used to become wealthy and successful.

    You've heard that you utilize only 10% of your brain.

    That's mostly because the majority of your brain's power is UNCONSCIOUS.

    Maybe that thought has even taken place INSIDE your own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head around 7 years ago, while driving an unlicensed, beat-up garbage bucket of a car without a driver's license and $3 in his bank account.

    "I'm very fed up with going through life paycheck to paycheck! When will I become successful?"

    You took part in those questions, ain't it right?

    Your own success story is going to be written. All you need is to believe in YOURSELF.

  10. Look at the way my pal Wesley Virgin's adventure launches with this SHOCKING and controversial VIDEO.

    Wesley was in the army-and soon after leaving-he unveiled hidden, "self mind control" tactics that the government and others used to get anything they want.

    These are the EXACT same tactics lots of famous people (especially those who "became famous out of nothing") and top business people used to become rich and famous.

    You probably know how you utilize only 10% of your brain.

    That's really because the majority of your brainpower is UNCONSCIOUS.

    Perhaps that expression has even occurred INSIDE your very own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head about seven years ago, while driving an unlicensed, garbage bucket of a vehicle without a driver's license and with $3.20 on his bank card.

    "I'm absolutely frustrated with living paycheck to paycheck! When will I finally make it?"

    You've taken part in those questions, ain't it right?

    Your very own success story is waiting to be written. You just need to take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.
