My wife works in the assesment and accountability office of a large, urban school district in the southest US, in this district over 50% of the students qualify for free or reduced price lunch if that's an indicator of the economic circumstances.

That being said, a lot of blame is placed on the school system for a student's short comings when what has been seen by my wife and proven through statistics and test results is this-

Even in the poorest, worst family conditions, the involvement of the parent will make or break a student. When the parent is an uneducated dropout that does not value education the child does not stand much of a chance, but when the parent or guardian is vigilant, the child has a far greater chance of success.

I must commend you for putting up with this kids shortcomings and trying to teach him a thing or two. Mentoring can do everything to aim a young person in the right direction!
