[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re having trouble following along so let’s try to make this simple for you. McLean and Langley are not inherently better than low SES schools. They are just filled with the top 1% that can buy their way to success more easily than others. Therefore, they are not better, they are just wealthier. It’s foolish to think a cinderblock building is better than another cinderblock building. [/quote]

It's foolish to think that all these schools are no more than generic cinderblock buildings, or that the wealthy simply purchase success for their offspring.  You can sputter here all you want, but it won't change the rational decisions that people continue to make in real life about schools.  [/quote]

There could be some differences but it does boil down to wealth or lack of wealth. No need to be defensive. DP[/quote]

Objecting to the reductive is not defensive.  [/quote]

Can you give some examples of differences not tied to SES status? [/quote]
