[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Single mom to a white boy here; English is not my first language, so I guess some bases are covered. Now, when do I need to move to a bad school district? As for poor disadvantaged kids, I feel for them but my ultimate responsibility is towards my own kid (and I wish their parents felt the same). [/quote] You can afford to live in a good school district. I'm pretty sure most poor families would exchange the adversity score for a good school. Also, the families do feel ultimate responsibility for their kids, it's just a harder hurdle for them because of systemic societal biases against their kids. The adversity score is race blind and helps people of lower SES, regardless of race. For a Christian society, there is a lot of whining about helping those less fortunate. The adversity score puts the actual scores in context. It doesn't add points to the actual score. Colleges still see the actual score. [/quote]
