[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]https://www.edweek.org/teaching-learning/whos-to-blame-for-the-black-white-achievement-gap/2020/01 Wealth, schools, parenting, expectations, etc. matter. How about such things as talking to your infant/child/preschooler? We know how much that matters in terms of wiring the brain for language acquisition, grammar and writing. [/quote] So does race. If you think achievement gaps are explained entirely by socioeconomic differences or "parenting" (the majority of Black fathers live with their children and are actually more involved than White fathers https://www.vox.com/2015/6/21/8820537/black-fathers-day ), you aren't paying attention. Schools matter too, but race determines access to housing (because of both discrimination and the theft of Black people's wealth from slavery to redlining) which determines access to schools.[/quote]
