[quote=Anonymous]I think it might be helpful for people to understand how things work in regards to education in a high-poverty high school environment. Teachers teach their lesson. That lesson is not altered based on a student's understanding or poverty level. There is no special geometry class for low-income individuals where the kids learn only half of what high-income students learn. Teachers teach. If a student needs extra help, there are after-school sessions and advisory sessions. Poverty or language barriers do not change the lesson being taught, be they regular or advanced classes. Poverty and language barriers CAN change the outcomes of the classes, as those students are more likely to struggle. But that does not mean that YOUR kid will struggle.[/quote]
