[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe because the "better parents" are in the rich schools?[/quote] I think this quote from the comments section of the article sums it up best "I didn't have to read much past the first paragraph to call bull****. As someone who works in a Title 1, high poverty school district, I challenge this assumption. Take the faculty of any high performing, low poverty school district and send them on over. (We can use the break.) Then watch these "stronger educators" do absolutely no better than we do. No wait. At first they'll do worse until the shock wears off and the casualties are replaced. This whole mess is driven by the assumption that poverty can be nullified in the classroom. This is so stupid I can only assume those promoting it are either lying or grossly incompetent. The answer is probably both." [/quote]
