Survive, perhaps, maybe not thrive. There are other social services which may be needed as well. I'm not interested in social services which allow people to thrive, however. Education should be about presenting people with an opportunity to thrive, nothing more. NCLB seems to do that about as well as anything could.
I'm all for career rehabilitative services, etc. as well. I am not sure, however, what Monet meant by getting these people the aid they "deserve." Presumably, they already receive quite a bit of federal and state aid. Like the rest of the country, I'm sure they have access to programs such as job corps. If they have equal access to a decent education which affords them the opportunity for additional training/college, then I think the American people have done their part.
