[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think they are mixing up cause and effect.

Kids who do higher level math are more likely to graduate from college because they are better at school. The math didn’t make them more likely to graduate.

We would better serve kids if we focused on what skills kids actually need to obtain jobs that provide a living wage. [/quote]

Yes, nevermind that wealthy schools have far more opportunities for enrichment and acceleration. :D[/quote]

Because they need it.  Poor schools struggle to even have kids pass grade level math. Look up just about any high poverty middle school and the percentage of kids that are even grade level proficient is very very low, as in teens of lower. If there does happen to be a rock star math kid at such school, it’s because they have parents at home that care and are pushing them and they will find additional resources. It isn’t up to the school to give a specifically tailored unique work plan for each kid.  Every school is trying their best to provide the resources at their school that will be best utilized by the greatest amount of children[/quote]
