Your argument is that the families of the kids in the high SES area value education more, spend money on supplementing or replacing aspects of the curriculum that are missing, support the schools more, are more active in their kids education and therefore these kids do better and they should be bussed into the lower SES schools to provide what..role models? This doesn't even work when the balance shifts where there are enough low SES students to reinforce the bad habits.

There is an awful lot of arguing that poor kids are going to do badly in school, and that's just how it is, and there's nothing anybody can do to change it, and the only thing any attempt to fix it will do is bring down the rich kids.

However, the fact is that poor kids do much better in low-poverty schools than in high-poverty schools. This is not up for debate. It is a fact.

If you want poor kids to do better in school, then you need to get them out of high-poverty schools. If you don't, then you don't.[/quote]
