The hypothesis you would be testing would be, "What happens to test scores for kids of high-SES parents if their parents don't behave like high-SES parents." I don't think that's the hypothesis you're intending to test, though. (Or maybe it is.)


Besides helping out on daily homework - no more than that. Yes, what would text scores be?

Wait, the people doing more schooling at home after school are lazy? Huh?

Evidence is tapping you on the shoulder. Open your eyes and ears.


Good grief.

Mr. Starr and his MCPS bureaucratic colleagues are all using the same "work around" solutions for their own children in the MCPS system they supervise!


How do you know this?

Those in MoCo doing well in mathematics are those kids who solely rely on enrichment outside of the MCPS math curriculum and their teachers to appropriately and optimally learn this subject.

This hypothesis does not even warrant testing. It is the plain and obvious truth.



I'm guessing that you didn't major in science in college?

Which is why homeschooling is getting more and more popular. Why send them off for 6hrs just to have to teach and constantly enrich at home.
