Of course it does, being hungry and having nothing to lose reduces the amount of Fs one give. Having something to lose is actually more the thing that enforces compliance to society’s norms. |
Agree. Yet some crazy people on here think it's good for my kid to go to school with other kids who are more prone to comit crime |
Your mom isn’t credible with her esteemed credentials of raising a jackass. |
Because most of you are terribly unpleasant. |
Yeah, but wealthy communities commit all the white collar crime, destabilize banking systems, and perpetuate predatory lending schemes. |
This is what PP wants for their child. “Oh, Chad is in PE now.” They literally salivate at the idea of their kid getting rich off destroying the working class. Vile, vile people. |
Go away aready. |
All kids are poor including yours. |
No, not really nor do the schools. |
No one wants you around our kids. No one works even suggest it but you. We just want equal courses, clubs, sports and other offerings for all students, not just yours. Why should our taxes just to to benefit your kids and not all? |
Do you pay attention? Clearly not. |
Let's see these studies, then, if you're so sure they exist. I couldn't find any. (And no, ones that say that higher-poverty schools are worse for the poor kids doesn't count. Clearly you are only concerned about the effects on your precious UMC or upper-class kids, so please point me in the direction of the studies that say that privileged kids suffer if even a quarter of the kids around them are poor and instead must be largely insulated from them.) In the meantime, our elementary school is about 40% FARMS and doesn't feel like a "poor school" in any way and I don't see any major problems or challenges caused by it. So I indeed cannot imagine how having a FARMS rate of half that would make someone's school "barely acceptable.". But if I'm missing something, please enlighten me. |
| Y'all can compare MCAP math and ELA proficiency rates for White kids between Einstein and Walter Johnson, Churchill etc. on the MD school report card spoiler alert: it's not worth paying a premium for the "good" high schools. You are better off supplementing at home. |
Because poor kids like yours are stupid. Why are we going to invest when they'll tap out at grocery store clerk? We should invest in the future doctors, lawyers, and engineers. More efficient use of societal resources. You like socialism after all. |
Or pay for Russian School of Mathematics on the weekend. |
