[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would anyone undertake such a study?[/quote] More evidence that the achievement gap starts in the home, not the school system.[/quote] Did we need more evidence of this? I mean, I guess yes we did. I would guess that Asian and White parents are more likely to read to their kids and play games that involve counting and numbers with their kids which is why their kids are ahead. Asian families are more likely to supplement in STEM fields then White families which si why the percent of Asian kids who are ahead increases and the White kids is stagnant. This is hardly surprising. [/quote] Many Asian parents cannot read to their kids in English and such disadvantage does not apply to black parents.[/quote]
