Problem Statements and Causes.
Introduction - - - School Failures	How did it happen? There is no single failure mechanism. They did not occur all at once. Failures accumulated slowly over the decades.
Students Lack Motivation	Often the easiest problem to fix.
Students Lack Algorithms	They do not have the recipes in their heads on how to do the things that a good student does.
Students Have a Learning Disability	There is some very good help available.
Teachers are Not Prepared for the Modern Student	No, I'm not putting teachers down. Go read the essay!
Inadequate Parental Support	(This is not parent bashing!) They didn't know how to help their children or school.
