EDIT: Actually the last one seems sort of practical; are there not issues getting people to teach in remote communities? If so, getting more people in the program from those areas might be a good idea.
You don't think there are reasons why an LGBTQ kid, or a kid with disabilities might perform worse during high school? Think about being a gay or transgender student living in a household or community where that might not be acceptable.
