[quote=Anonymous]Here's the thing: there's no proof that the W schools actually have better teachers. In fact, some parents feel like those pyramids have lazy teachers who do the bare minimum and can get away with it bc the affluent kids come to school equipped to learn and receive supplementation at home. My sister's white UMC kids thrived at a title I school with small class sizes and additional resources. They were accelerated and fast tracked for magnets. I think the teachers there were truly talented and dedicated. Studies show that kids thrive primarily because of their home situation: SES, family stability, resources, etc. In fact, a moco housing study for homeless/low-income families established this: it's not the school/teachers---which is why busing doesn't work. Rather, it's the cultural norms established by housing stability with a peer cohort of married parents, academic emphasis, behavior expectations, etc. [/quote]
