However, families who are in the low socio-economic status can't always afford private school to provide the children with the highest quality of teachers and learning.

Public schools are at a disadvantage when it comes to receiving the best education for working memory. Children who live in a low SES homes have difficulty learning how to develop and train the working memory. Working memory has slowly decreased over the growing years. Therefore, students become less motivated and have learning difficulties later on. Low working memory results in frustration, anger, being disruptive and failure to complete tasks.
