[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] 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. [/quote] The fact is that poor kids *sometimes* do better in low-poverty school. http://content.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,2027858,00.html "That's why so many in the reform community see issues such as improving teacher effectiveness, providing a better curriculum and expanding high-performing charter schools in underserved communities as more impactful and immediate steps than grand schemes to change housing policy or school-district boundaries. And of course, there are plenty of schools that demonstrate that high poverty rates and low achievement are not inexorably linked." [/quote]
