Berliner's research focuses on 7 out-of-school factors that influence student's academic success and lead to inequalities among children:
- prenatal care
- health care
- food insecurity
- environmental pollutants

I applade the fact that someone is finally saying what schools and teachers have known all along. Home life is more of a factor for a child's success than school, no matter how good the school and teachers may be. While I do very much agree with the fact that there are many out-of-school factors that influence a child's education and abilities in life, I do not agree with the solution provided in this ariticle. I believe the bottom line is that parents need help with parenting! Universal pre-school and health care will not eliminate this need. Many children are simply not brought to the doctor's under the federal insurance plans we already have and many parents do not utilize the free child care already available. Many families are not even aware of the services that they could utilize and they don't know how to take the steps needed to get them. You can offer services but you can't make parents use them. In many cases, it is the parents that need the education. I would look at that problem first. We should be looking at ways we can assist and educate parents from the beginning. Just throwing services and money at them is not the answer.
