[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Yes I am PP whose child goes to a Title 1 which is 70%hispanic and this is what I have experienced, too.
My son has a friend who is way younger than his half siblings and doesn't have siblings (blended family); so he gets much more attention than a typical hispanic child at our school. Still, [b]I know college is not even on the family's radar. [/b]When I asked them about what they think about their child's future they said maybe professional soccer player, and when I said that private schools give out a lot of scholarships to spanish speaking kids they started talking about some school they wanted to send their child to, and it turned out to be an afterschool tutoring center.[/quote]

This is not uncommon.  Heck, my parents are from two English-speaking countries, and they still had trouble guiding my sibs and I through school in the US--the expectations for parental involvement are very different for middle/upper middle class, (mostly) white Americans, who typically have the wherewithal and know-how to adequately prepare there kids for college and beyond.  Largely the same story for kids in SE DC.  The common denominator is SES.

Common denominator is IQ, which is genetic.  Not having a destructive home environment is certainly helpful.  But this whole SES = school performance thing is such delusional BS.[/quote]

In the words of Trump, "wrong". "Just wrong". Your antiquated and unfounded supposition that an entire ethnic group is intellectually inferior just isn't backed up by actual science. You know, the kind of science that supports that global warming is a real thing. And yes, there are plenty of studies and organizations which for decades have found a connection between the negative impact of low SES and school performance for a complex set of reasons.

Have you ever hit pause on the hand wringing hysteria and taken note of the face that it is NOT ALLOWED for a study to reach a conclusion even remotely politically incorrect these days?  Ever?  Certain possible interpretations/conclusions are automatically excluded, ignored, because, well, in part because either the academic is under his/her own cloud of political correctness and/or it [b]would be career suicide[/b] in the academic world to be anything less than politically correct.

It is very intellectually dishonest.

Have you noticed that at all?  No?  Didn't think so.[/quote]
