[quote=Anonymous]I'm sure this discussion will go astray very soon, so let's enjoy it while it lasts: Yes, please, what evidence is there of any link between FARM rates and any one student's ability to succeed? Of course, FARM rates are correlated with lower average % achievement by the simple arithmetic fact that poverty correlates with achievement and that therefore both averages of that distribution correlate, too. That's a no-brainer; no need to prove that point. What I want proven is that the FARM rate in a classroom has a negative impact on any one student, especially on an otherwise predicted-to-well individual, as exemplified by PP. And I'd like that in a non-anecdotal fashion please. Anecdotally I can prove the opposite to you. My mid-upper income and PhD-holding household's child sort of benefited from an environment in which many poor and thus struggling children needed extra help. Many more resources, more opportunities, and more attention came her/his way.[/quote]
