[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ultimate logic disconnect

upper income kids going to crappy schools no change

lower income kids going to better schools massive change

lol

[b]what those of us with common sense know, the school environment doesn't matter it's all about the parents/home environment [/b]

taking 100 low income kids to a higher income school won't do jack for most of the lower income kids period[/quote]

DCUM: The school environment is very important! (When it comes to spending $$$ to make sure that your child goes to "good" schools.)
Also DCUM: The school environment doesn't matter! (When it comes to potential boundary changes that would reassign more kids from low-income families to "good" schools and/or reassign DCUM kids to "bad" schools.)

Both are true

Most parents who give a damn make sure there kids aren't in a high poverty high bad behavior environment

Most parents who give a damn have kids that will be successful regardless

and also the reverse is true

property values are directly correlated to school "success" which is directly correlated to test scores which is directly correlated to parental involvement which is mostly correlated to income which is all a vicious cycle

Yes but in a dense metropolitan area property values can be very high in lower income areas! That's what people don't get and that is the point about a lot of high performing kids in the DCC have professor, scientist, fed lawyer parents. A lot of highly educated parents live in 400-700K houses and those are not zoned for Ws in close in areas.

The bubble is amazing. The wealthy areas are over the top wealthy. Only on DCUM is living in less than a 1.2 million home mean you are must live in a high poverty area.[/quote]
Is there any evidence to show that the highly educated parents in DCC help the low income families and their kids’ acadamic performance in school?[/quote]
