[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't like Shepherd, and I've never made any bones about that, but I will say, the lower ses families who care enough to bring their kids across the city to the school are just, if not more, dedicated than the higher ses families around it. [b]Categorizing a child's academic potential by their parents SES is ridiculous, and doing so would exclude most children of teachers, academics, and scientists.[/b]

This quest to find a scapegoat or an other to "blame" for perceived educational problems that is a real problem.[/quote]

Study after study shows that kids of high SES parents almost always perform better academically than low income kids.  its not a blame game these are established facts.  [/quote]

SES means "socio-economic status," as in not just about income. The highly educated people you mention would fall in the high social status category.[/quote]

+1. I couldn't care less about income, it's all about education when I think about "SES" and which kids I would like to be the predominant (not exclusive) demographic at my kids' school.[/quote]
