[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another thought.... what do schools actually accomplish Most of the arguments here tend to support the proven fact that school success is generally realted to the education level of the mother which is also usually correlated to SES. Another poster said it too teacher quality is less than 10% of the impact on the "success" of a child just some things to think about.....[/quote] What do schools accomplish? Surely you're joking. They teach children to read. They teach children to do math. They teach children about history, language, culture, art. They have physical fitness programs. Some schools provide free meals to children in very low income families. Are you new to the country such that you think it is possible to isolate race and SES completely? Are you ignorant of this country's history with race and poverty? [/quote]
