[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You misinterpret the data about SAT scores. SAT scores are not reflective of quality of school teaching, nor are they linked to community or school average income level (as reflected by FARMS rate). SAT scores *are* highly correlated to the family income of the student. The wealthier your family, the more likely you are to do well on the SAT. This is because wealthy families generally access private tutoring for SAT/ACT and class support. Particularly in HS, many students are getting tutors to make up for poor classroom teaching. Wealthy families also access more enrichment activities, etc., for their kids. [/quote] They're much more highly correlated to the educational attainment of the parents. When this is added into the mix, SES influence drops almost to zero. I'd bet if you were able to add parental IQ, educational attainment would in turn become much less relevant.[/quote]
