[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because ses is a reliable predictor of academic achievement. So not so much the white piece of it but the ses piece. We all know this. [/quote] Academic opportunity is a reliable indicator of academic achievement. What these title 1 schools are doing is giving kids from lower SES families a shot at opportunity. That's how it was with my kids in small group instruction at a title 1. I'd much prefer my kids to be in classes with them than the middling kids from high SES families who have been test-prepped into "advanced".[/quote] We are a lower SES who moved to upper NW shot the shot a opportunity. I think DC would have simply been a good kid doing grade level work. At NW school, his high SES peers showed him different kind of norm. His reading was on 11th grade level in 5th grade, and his Parcc's were all 5's. No way would that have been the case in Tubman.[/quote]
