I never thought it was about race, as much as some posters on DCUM vociferously claim it is.

I think it's about families' educational expectations, and their fear that [b]lower-income families will not encourage their children as much and that therefore the school cohort will not be as academically motivated as before.

You know what? Fk you.

My grandparents were all lower-income immigrants from Eastern Europe and Japan. They worked their butts off to achieve a better life than their parents had.

You have some nerve saying lower-income families don't value education as much as richer families do. If anything they value it MORE because they understand it's the only way for their kids to have a better life than they have. [/quote]

Same here except from Europe. Raised their kids in poor and blue collar neighborhoods and most of them went on to higher education and led successful lives. Lots of poor families have always put a high value on education.
