[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] This is because the important factors, intelligence and work ethic is what is making the difference and is equally distributed in the population.[/quote]

Do you have any proof that intelligence and work ethic are equally distributed across all races, cultures, and income levels?[/quote]

Of course it is equal across all races, cultures and income levels around the world.  But immigrants who have come to America are not always representative of their home countries — it’s why some countries call the phenomenon of people leaving their country a “brain drain.”  Highly educated and/or motivated people tend to take the risk of leaving their home country for America.  So the people you have here might be of higher education level and/or motivation than your average person of that culture.[/quote]

I agree with the immigrant effect.

However, even setting this aside, different cultures around the world value education in vastly different ways, and these values affect the hours children spend on schoolwork and the expectations families have of them.[/quote]

What exactly is your point? Asian students in Title I schools will be subject to the same lower AAP pool cut-offs as white, black, and Hispanic students in Title I schools.
