This isn't complicated stuff. If a kid lives in a household with parents who
1) think climate scientists are still lying their butts off to get funding even though the current administration is in the process of eliminating all the funding,
2) think math skills are useless,
3) never read a book,
4) think the Earth is 6000 years old,
5) believe discussing evolution is eeeevil and the work of the devil,
6) constantly bad mouth teachers and the education system in general,
7) can't find major countries on a map,
8) think learning a foreign language - any foreign language - is a waste of time,
9) see no reason to know any history,
10) think there will be an endless supply of well paying construction jobs in Alaska, like, forever,
11) etc. etc. etc.
then the kid isn't going to see any point in doing well at school.
