How about this?  Teachers and students aren't variables.  Each child is different; each teacher is different.  A teacher with a spouse who's a high earner will most likely NOT be bullied into doing something that goes against his/her beliefs.  Another teacher, who's a single parent, may feel the pressure.  A teacher nearing retirement will have the strength to say no to some unethical calls as well.  A new teacher is too clueless to know the difference.

So these studies can just go to hell.

Schools are shaped by some ridiculous national measures developed by morons who don't know anything about the classroom setting.  People forget about community-run schools.  Parents and the immediate community shape the culture. But when we destroy communities, we destroy cultures.

And that means that [b]busing kids from low-income schools to wealthy, white schools[/b] sends the message that their communities are not valuable, and therefore, they, too, are not valuable.

When schools are run top-down, everyone loses.[/quote]

Good thing nobody's proposing to do that, then, isn't it?

boundary studies = "integration" = busing[/quote]
