[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The "finding" that Black children whose parents read to them perform worse is really troubling. Probably an instance of correlation and not causation or something.[/quote] I thought so too. For example, it's not clear whether or not parents are assisting children who are in academic difficulty, specifically because they're struggling; nor that they may be more disengaged from academic management of children who are performing either fine or above average. Another example, what is homework help exactly? What one parent views as helping their child, another might view as "doing it for them." Without looking at the underlying data - these conclusions look overly broad. There's not enough specificity here for the article to be useful.[/quote]
