The systemic issues start at home. Not having safety or stability in their home life leads to almost all of the negative adults outcomes you hear about.

Cptsd, parentification, and physical/emotional/social neglect (abuse too, but it’s more obvious than neglect) are the biggest things to solve based on my lived experiences.

Solving those would solve most of the “school” issues I believe.

The next level would be at the “nickeled and dimed” [0] level. Poor opportunities and little mobility is all most of these kids can look forward to. So instead they spend their downtime distracting themselves from how shitty their lives are or will be.
