[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What I always see as the pitch for all of this is that low-income kids can't learn without x y z. For ex, hungry kids don't pay attention then have low test scores. So, are these fully fed kids now learning more, which will qualify them for jobs, or not?[/quote] WHAT jobs? Do we have some abundance of decent paying working class jobs? The reason people are in poverty working for Walmart and McDonalds isn't that they had low test scores in high school. It's that these jobs do not pay a living wage. Even if Walmart hired only valedictorians with high SATs to work 29 hours a week at minimum wage, those smartypants students would still be poor.[/quote]
