[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did not know the poor, as a whole, in colleges performed better than the middle and upper classes.  Thanks for your revolutionary statistics.  Now If only you can translate your personal anecdotes into peer-reviewed references, I might buy your story. [/quote]

This is not a theory of being poor should have advantage to study well.   School subjects are not like swimming, tennis,  golf training, or leaning playing music instruments like piano or violin, you can really work on yourselves.  Math/Reading do not need private teachers involved if kids learn well at school and work hard at home.    If there is an incentive to get out of poverty, then they should certainly do better by working extra hard.  [b] The only assumption is the poor and the rich are equally smart [/b]  [/quote]

We can't assume any two people are equally smart. Some people, whether rich or poor, are smarter than others. Working extra hard is great, but you need to be smart, too.
