[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Here's a thought experiment. You get a kid from the highest SES imaginable and place him/ her in an empty room for five years. You also get a kid from the lowest SES imaginable and place him/ her in the best school in town for the same five years. Which one is likely to be performing better academically after said five years? SES influences education, but not to the degree you seem to assume. There are many other reasons why students at one school underperform students at another school. [/quote] The one from the highest SES - they will figure out how to make the empty room the most interesting environment for learning b/c they are not hungry, they have enrichment, they have appropriate medical and dental care - and even thought the room is empty they will be there every day.
