You have written several blog posts focusing...Joe,<br /><br />You have written several blog posts focusing on poverty. I think we can say that there is a correlation between wealth, poverty and educational achievement but this is not about ' causation.' I agree that the focus should be on the wealthy as well in order to try and understand what makes them successful, what they get from their educational environments and what they bring in terms of their human resources and informal learning in the home. On the other hand people like Deborah Meier do believe that in a small class environment even kids from a poor community can receive a good education. In any case a teacher cannot deal with poverty issues but merely focus on how he can help the kid. And helping the kid is not just teaching to test so we get higher test scores.AllanKatzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01832588840708909428noreply@blogger.com
