[quote=Anonymous]So lower income areas have poorer performing schools, who would have thought? Education is driven by parent involvement in the child's education, even if if just means reinforcing that education is valuable and paying attention to your kid's grades and asking about school and expecting them to do well. And the real problem is that lower income parents place less value on education than higher income parents. Also parents with college degrees have higher expectations of their kids as well. Many successful people come out of bad schools, but this is because their parents placed a high value on their kids getting an education. If the parents don't teach that education has value it doesn't matter which school the kid attends. [i]Poor white boy whose parents cared about education and came from a really crappy school system that now has a PhD. Who saw that every kid whose parents cared about education and were engaged in their child's education did well.[/i][/quote]
