[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know if this is a small sample size issue, but looking at the raw data, ITS and LAMB seem to have horrible success with at risk- students whereas YY and Sela seem to be killing it. Maybe the alphabet/language root decoding is helping math scores? [/quote]

YY has vanishingly few at-risk kids, so I don't know that you can draw a lot of conclusions from it.  And Sela's population is also pretty small.

I think ITS' at risk kids are more in the middle school.due to backfilling, and it is hard to catch kids up if they enter far behind.[/quote]

The conclusion you can draw from YY's set up is that a little Mandarin works to scare away almost all the at-risk kids, the entire point of the artifice.

Go YY, for killing it![/quote]

As I YY parent, I can assure you that there are many families there that are stretching to call themselves middle class.[/quote]

That is not what at-risk means.  The statutory definition is homeless, in foster care, on TANF or SNAP, or for high school kids, old for their grade.  Having middle or low-middle income families is a very different and much, much easier thing.[/quote]

Fair enough. I doubt many impoverished homeless people prioritize Mandarin education for their offspring, or even know what it is. That doesn't mean Mandarin education is "artifice" to exclude them.[/quote]

You only have to meet one of the criteria.  And YY is very loe on low-income kids as well.  Not saying it is due to misconduct, but your test scores be worse if you had to take a fair share.[/quote]

"Fair share." Every runner needs their "fair share" of weights and chains to keep them from getting ahead of the pack, just as every smart person needs a radio transmitter embedded in their brain to broadcast static so as to reduce them to LCD.[/quote]

If you see at-risk kids as weights and chains that keep your child from getting ahead, I'm sorry for you.  Must be a hard way to live.  Stay in your bubble and keep your nasty attitude away from the rest of us.[/quote]

It was an allusion to a work by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr, that seems relevant to many of these discussions.[/quote]
