[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]7th grade parent my daughter is happy at Hughes, we're pleasantly surprised. She's in some advanced classes [b]but also PE, home ec, art are fine. [/b]Not sure what problems people have we don't hear much from her and assume that's a positive, lol. [/quote]

I hate when people say this. Those classes really aren’t where you are going to see the problem kids rear their ugly heads. They aren’t taking art. [/quote]

Wow you sound really racist and classist. All kids at Hughes are mixed for all electives. Yes, even "problem kids" can be artistic. You sound horrible.[/quote]

Kids are going to behave better in the classes that they like and are interested in. So the kid who is acting up in the core classes can be perfectly well behaved in the art class.

We know that there is a strong correlation between SES and parents educational achievement and success in school, mainly because kids who come from lower SES families are more likely to have parents who do not have degrees, including a high school degree, and have not introduced their kids to reading and math as toddlers, reading to them and playing games that use numbers, and that they cannot help their kids in ES and MS. This is why lower SES schools have more kids who are behind in class, struggle in classes, and are more likely to have behavioral problems at school. That is not classist, that is basic stats and years of research and publications studying these issues. [/quote]
