Overall, for the majority, high SES does indeed translate into higher academic achievement levels, just as low SES does indeed translate into lower academic achievement levels.  Yes, there are rich spoiled brats who'd rather play hooky, bully and harass and otherwise are not academically-inclined, just as there are low-SES kids who are gifted and talented and high achievers, but those are the outliers, those do not represent the norm.[/quote]

This is the best post I've see on DCUM in a while[/quote]

Which is why the highest scoring schools are located in the most affluent neighborhoods.  So you can stop doing your touchdown dance if your Upper Caucasia school posted high test scores.  And you can also stop the deprecating remarks about schools located in the least affluent neighborhoods.  These are not "bad" schools filled with "ineffective" or "minimally effective" teachers.  They are schools that are doing the best job they can for the students they have.[/quote]

Thanks for saying it, but I can't believe people don't know this yet.[/quote]
