[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Has anyone changed their mind about anything based on this data?  Did it inform you in any way of something you didn’t know?

For me, it was that the “rich schools” don’t have really ridiculous HHI.[/quote]

And yet there are huge FARMS rates differentials.  People see what they want to see.

Yes that is other data that we see all of the time.[/quote]

The idea was a bit of a counterpoint to the PPP.  "Rich schools" may not have ridiculously high meidian HHI (depending on how one views ridiculous in that regard), but the difference in poverty- or near-poverty impacts is huge across school catchments.

It's [i]that[/i] which is among the main drivers of need for differential support, and I would caution anyone looking at the provided analysis (good to have, don't get me wrong), without substantial additional analyses to complete the picture, against concluding that we don't need to address that differential need with the programs/differential funding that would be required.[/quote]
