I think you're arguing with more than one person.

A large reason that affluent kids are more successful is that they come from affluent families whose parents prioritize education and are able to support them academically.  Do you deny that that is the case?[/quote]

A large reason that affluent kids are more successful in school is that they tend to go to school with other affluent kids.

Another reason that affluent kids are more successful in school in is because all of the practical complications of life are easier to deal with if you have more money.

It follows, therefore, that if you want to improve the academic performance of non-affluent kids, you should send them to school with affluent kids, and you should make it as uncomplicated as possible for them to go to school with affluent kids and to stay in school with affluent kids.[/quote]

You're not making sense.  Those kids won't have more money (and you're right, the practical complications of life are more easily dealt with with more money) because they go to school with more affluent kids.  They'll have a longer way to go and a bigger economic divide.

The solution is improving the lower-ranked schools and increasing home support. [/quote]
