[quote=Anonymous]Part of the explanation for the racial test score gaps that seem to exist despite similar SES status stems from 1) Even if AA families and white families have similar incomes, white families are more likely to have family wealth or to borrow from family to buy into a better school district. Studies that control for wealth, not income, find that AA students scores higher than whites. (See "Living in the Red in Blackand White" by Dalton Conley and "Black Wealth/White Wealth" by Melvin Oliver and Thomas Shapiro, 1995) 2) Stereotype threat http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereotype_threat 2)[/quote]
