All you’ve done is prove that children who come from upper middle class home where parents are college educated will score well on standardized tests. Doesn’t say a word about the learning experiences of the students. The kids at these schools would score exactly the same if they were placed in a Title 1 school. [/quote] How do you figure that they would preform the same if the class had to move at a crawl?[/quote] You do realize that even in a Title I they would generally be pursuing coursework and grouped with peers at their own ability level? Who they are "surrounded by" in other classrooms is largely irrelevant. It's just that their school would only have 1 section of Calc instead of 5 sections that a high-SES HS might have. Maybe mildly more challenging scheduling-wise but the admins aren't idiots and if they only have one section each of say AP US History, AP Calc, and AP Physics they know there's going to be a lot of overlap amongst the students taking those courses and won't schedule them into the same block.[/quote] How many section of second grade language arts do you think most elementary schools classes have?
