[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This belief - accepted as fact by so many - that poor and minority people simply can't or don't want to learn is where the achievement gap starts. –----- The stressors of poverty are well known and they do impose a big burden on a child brain development - almost equivalent to PTSD. It is much harder to learn when you don't know if you'll have a place to stay that night or food on the table, or maybe you'll go home to see your mum passed out drunk on the couch and no dinner in sight[/quote] I think there's a significant difference between acknowledging the impact of those stressors on learning and saying families with kids receiving FARMs don't value education. Also, in general there doesn't see to be much concern around here for helping poor children/families overcome these stressor; rather the emphasis is on moving them out of LT so their struggles don't adversely affect higher SES IB kids.[/quote]
