[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So why is there a different in child outcomes amongst races then? Genetics? Considering they have the same teachers, it can't be that. [/quote] Based on what I've read, the achievement gap is set into place way before kids even get to Kindergarten. There is something about a middle class white baby hearing about 3 million more words by the time he or she is 2, compared to a black child. (Don't quote me on the figure, but it's something like that.) [/quote] Geoffrey Canada also said that white Americans are always looking for the latest, best way to raise and educate children (example: ALL of DCUM!) but that info doesn't flow into black households with the same regularity, for whatever reason.[/quote]
