“…an ambitious government study conducted by sociologist James Coleman had come to a conclusion so ‘seismic- that President Johnson’s administration considered not releasing it, and did release it on the Friday of the Fourth of July weekend….
The conclusion: ‘Schools are remarkably similar in the way they relate to the
achievement of their pupils when the socioeconomic background of the students is taken into consideration.’” George Will, “The Conservative Sensibility, “ p. 315-316
“…
a student's family background, coupled with a diverse socioeconomic mix in the classroom, appeared to be the biggest determinant of how well a child would learn. No one had said this before, backing it up with data. “
Coleman Report set the standard for the study of public education
WHAT????
“…“…a student's family background, coupled with a diverse socioeconomic mix in the classroom, appeared to be the biggest determinant of how well a child would learn.”
Family, family structure, and responsibility is more important than money or Leftist government policy????
11. “Different social classes raise their children differently.
Studies have shown that children whose parents are professional heard
more words per hour than children whose families are on welfare.
Studies show that professional parents used "
more words and more different words ... more multiclause sentences, more past and future verb tenses. ... The ratio of
affirmative words to negative words was six to one with parents who had professional occupation."
By contrast, families on welfare used discouraging words more than two to one: words such as "Don't," "Stop," "Quit," and "Shut up." Sowell sarcastically asks are we to believe that children raised in such different ways, many years before they reach an employer , a college admissions office or crime scene are the same in capabilities, orientation and limitations?”
