[quote=Anonymous]I think you are wrong. Most people don't make assumptions like you lay out. Very few do. But what people know from hard statistical evidence us that a high percentage of low SES students ( of any race ) in the same class/ school means that the class or school is going to be involved, in fact focused, on a lot of remediation and discipline and other activities in order to make up for lacks in the households of many ( not all!) Of those students. This is the right thing to do. This is not bigotry, racism, elitism or anything but sound judgement based on current evidence. When the teaching style, school organization, curriculum, culture or whatever changes to make this no longer the case, no one will even check the ses percentages and test scores of a school because they will all be good. Until that happens, please stop slamming parents for making sound judgements about what school environment is best for their kids ( high or low ses!)[/quote]
