[QUOTE="Jim Prather, post: 692654, member: 431"] To begin with, let's make certain we are using the same terms. Differences in socioeconomic status is not a racial bias. You see the exact same discrepancies in scores between rich and poor within the same ethnic groups as you see across ethnic groups. Regarding your point about giving disadvantaged schools more resources - it seems easy in theory. In reality, there is something far more subtle which that idea does not address. The single biggest factor in predicting educational success is the amount of emphasis that the parents put on the value of education. You can spend all the money in the world on a school, but it won't matter until the parents make education a top priority and take an active role in ensuring their children are learning. [/QUOTE]
