[quote=Anonymous]I've had these same thoughts and questions. Our school is about 70% FARMs and obviously Title 1. I actually planned to ask the teacher point blank this year if kids without the low income and ESOL issues can get an equivalent education to other parts of the county. I don't want it to sound condescending though. My oldest will be in the advanced class after 2nd (llIV/III) but it is my younger one who is a good, not advanced student I worry about. I've read the studies that indicate that reading levels and critical thinking skills are lower across the board for kids at schools with high % of low income. But I also love our school, the teachers have been amazing, I like the diversity in student background, and frankly I like the lack of homework. Currently we hope to move to a better school district by middle school (6th grade) but want to make sure the kids aren't behind by then. [/quote]
