[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To quote the study, "The antecedent factor of family socioeconomic status and the propensity factors of student science, mathematics, and reading achievement by kindergarten consistently explained whether students displayed advanced science or mathematics achievement during first, second, third, fourth, or fifth grade."

So this isn't about race, it's really about socioeconomic status of the family. [/quote]

Race and SES are highly correlated[/quote]

Not always.  In NYC, for example, the Asian community there is among the poorest if not the poorest.  Yet, they are highly represented in NYC magnet schools. [/quote]

Many immigrants were highly educated in their home countries; they just start from scratch here and hence poor. Or their wealth is under the table: they get money from home country assets and/or relatives and being low income on paper helps them get preferential treatment.
Not saying everyone is like that but there’s pretend poverty too. [/quote]
