One reason why school-based programs to build students' self-esteem have not lived up to their expectations is that
Owe have not used the programs for long enough for them to produce the effects we are looking for
Owe haven't spent enough money to implement self-esteem building programs
Oself-esteem and positive outcomes are correlated, but this doesn't mean that high self-esteem causes positive outcomes
Othese programs work as expected for minority children, but do not have the expected effect for majority children
