Seems pretty obvious to me.

But it is "The Emperor has no clothes on" to the Educational world. They have two approaches.

"We need more Teachers making more money."

"See, this proves it is all the parent's fault! We can't do anything about it."

Money is not the solution. The results don't correlate to money. And you are not going to change the parents unless you face them up to it. And that is called a "Racist" approach.

What is pointed out is that some schools, using the same amount of money as the rest, without changing the parents, have been effective in getting these kids to study and learn. Gotta find out why. An replicate it.

Bill, the first article is interesting but it failed to come to any conclusions regarding why black middle class children perform on average worse in school.

I don't believe a lot of studies are necessary. They simply watch more television instead of reading or doing their homework. They're also read to less in the early stages of development.

Ah, the world of ethnic stereotypes.
