问答题 A public charter school in D.C. enrolls parents and young children together in the same school, a novel effort to improve children's prospects by building the skills of those who are closest to them. Many modern school reforms emerge from the idea that schools can overcome the difficult situations children experience in their life outside of school. But dual-generation approaches echo research that shows that a mother's education is one of the strongest predictors of a child's academic success. Such programs provide support and training for parents to learn English, earn a degree or train for a better-paying job at the same time their children are taking their first steps or learning to read. Educators say it's a far more complicated and expensive endeavor to educate adults and children together. But many say it's a critical model in the 21st century, when the pace of economic inequality is overwhelming efforts to improve the quality of teachers and schools.
