The idea that "kids do well if they can" makes complete sense. In my experience as a teacher, I have seen dozens of kids who had obstacles in their lives that caused them to be 'unable' to do well. The quote, "it takes a village to raise a child", is true. In order for kids to do well, they have to be given the tools to do so. If that is not happening at home, school needs to step in. The is especially true in the world today during the pandemic. More kids than ever need extra help in order to be successful.
