Some middle class kids can meet these standards because of what went on before entering kindergarten. Until we can standardize what happens to each child from birth, we are going to have plenty of kids who can't meet these standards. More than 50% of all school aged kids come from poverty so until we figure out how to fix that, kids will continue to not meet these standards. [/quote]

agree with your premise.  However, a teacher posted that she fell in the 50% of poverty.  The problems are mostly with the children of the non working poor.  Those who are not even attempting to work.

[i]Most of America's richest think poor people have it easy in this country, according to a new report released by the Pew Research Center. The center surveyed a nationally representative group of people this past fall, and found that the majority of the country's most financially secure citizens (54 percent at the very top, and 57 percent just below) believe the "poor have it easy because they can get government benefits without doing anything in return." America's least financially secure, meanwhile, vehemently disagree — nearly 70 percent say the poor have hard lives because the benefits "don't go far enough." Nationally, the population is almost evenly split.[/i]
