[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've taught in a Title One school and a school in a very wealthy area. The wealthy kids had worse behavior, hands down. They were sassy, rude and ignored many staff members. Many of them flat out refused to clean up messes they made. Some of them were very entitled and once you met their parents, it all made sense. My "poor" kids have much better behavior. They enter school much further behind but they know how to behave.[/quote] Are you talking about elementary school kids? At our high SES high school the teachers almost always tell the parents how well behaved and eager to learn the kids are, and teachers who’ve taught at schools with a lot of poverty often mention what a big difference they’ve noticed in terms of kids paying attention and wanting to learn. I think the disadvantages of poverty and families with limited academic backgrounds tend to manifest themselves over the longer run.[/quote]
