[quote=Anonymous]This is a spin off of the Wilson thread but I am interested to know what research says about why high SES kids(as a proxy for children of educated mothers)  will do well no matter their peer group to a point.  I have read about the correlation to education of the mother.  As an educated mother, I suspect that part of why my kids will do well is because I will ensure that they attend strong schools.  That is, I will move or take other actions as necessary to ensure good educational outcomes, not that the fact of having an educated mother without more will cause my children to succeed academically.  So, when someone says to me that I should not worry about the observed outcomes of a school because my children will be fine no matter what, my reaction is of course they will be fine precisely because I would never send them to such a school.

Go ahead, call me racist or whatever but I am really Interested in knowing whether and, if so, how the research accounts for this.[/quote]
