[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are white or asian, so what if there is an uptick in FARMs students? The number of FARMs students does [b]NOT[/b] statistically impact the performance of White and Asian students. Now if you are AA or Hispanic, and either FARMs are non-FARMs, then yes I would be concerned if your local school has high FARMs, because there is evidence it may negatively impact your child. You may need to invest in supplementation if you see your child's scores dipping.[/quote]

NP.  What is the evidence that high FARMs rate negatively impacts AA and Hispanic children, but not White or Asian? If that's true, then white parents should be unconcerned about the percentage of FARM children in their child's school (as they seem with charters).

One probable factor in the achievement gap that's never discussed is the [i]assumption[/i] that white kids are better learners and that their parents are more motivated to ensure a quality education.[/quote]
