[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to one of the 5 most selective schools in the country without ever having SAT prep or a math tutor. I'm curious what, specifically, you claim to "know what the data says about these boys if they aren't prepared for college."[/quote] I've read a few books that cite similar research: kids from this sort of household have a less than 10% chance of ever graduating from college. Factors include: inferior schools, anti-education household, negative friendships, lack of money, lack of prep, lack of direction, lack of mentors, etc.[/quote] But these boys don't have a lack of money or a lack of mentors, because they have Aunt. Aunt can also provide direction and a pro-education perspective. Do these kids have the same odds as a kid who comes from a pro-education household, has positive friendships, great schools, money, prep, direction, mentors? No. But they have much better odds than their peers who don't have Aunt Larla.[/quote]
