[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I think the more important question is why do you assume everyone from low SES is unable to achieve at grade level?[/quote] Where is that stated?[/quote] My apologies... it isn't stated. I've just seen so many posts in this forum today alone that infer (or directly state in some cases) that High SES and "gentrifying families" are the saviors for low SES kids/schools. (Some schools like KIPP and DC Prep seem to be doing just fine without this population. So, maybe it isn't WHO goes to the school but more about how the kids are taught, who teaches them, and whether or not people believe in them. Our current school seems to assume kids of color = low SES = low achievement. It's demoralizing. [/quote]
