[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. The top 10% already have an advantage over the other 90%. Would not make sense to put further funds to a group that is already at an advantage.[/quote]

DP.  Do you not see that our society benefits when we raise the proficiency of the smartest people in our country?[/quote]

Do you not see society benefits exponentially more when we raise the proficiency of the lowest performing people in our country?[/quote]

No. The upper 10% intelligent people are far more Important to modern society than the bottom 10%. If you don't agree then you're either ignorant or have some biased perspective to further an agenda. The lower 10% can easily be replaced with immigration as well.[/quote]

Who do you think the lower 10% generally IS?[/quote]

Generally, the lower 10% are not [u]legal[/u] immigrants. This includes many people from Latin America. To say that is to debase, minimize, and group together a diverse population of people.[/quote]

How do you know who is in the lowest 10 percent?  Please.[/quote]

It’s easy to find test scores by demographic. I’d argue that some (many?) immigrants would have higher scores if the tests were administered in Spanish too.

For other demographics… there’s no language barrier. I understand some families have many advantages compared to others. But everyone can read a book to their kid every once in a while. And it costs zero dollars making sure your kid actually shows up to school.[/quote]
