Does such data address the question of whether children raised in welfare homes are succeeding or not--currently or fairly currently? You continue to ask questions I consider wrongheaded. That's fine if you wish to do so but I don't see any reason to continue a conversation about them. The right question is do children from impoverished backgrounds and/or dysfunctional families (someone has put this question here) do better when they are exposed to the same educational opportunities as other children? My guess is that the answer to that question is an unmitigated yes. Our problem is that we lack the political will to provide those opportunities; not the data.
