Money does not help children pass exams. Parents are wasting their money. It is better to take children on a trip. They will try hard and do well. Some people looked at how money and trips changed students’ studying ways. Many students tried hard in class. They did a lot of homework, but did not do well in tests. 

That was not the right way to help students. It needed to look at what makes students work harder. Some students think studying can help them get their goals in life. Other kids think studying makes no difference. They think success comes from family background. Good teachers are most important, especially for poor children.
