by Robert PondiscioFebruary 2nd, 2008
Identify the socioeconomic group under discussion in this article about student achievement.
- A mere 15 per cent master the “three Rs.”
- Studies cite parental indifference and family break-ups as reasons they have slipped behind other groups.
- Some are held back by a peer culture which encourages low aspirations and holds intellectual effort in contempt.
It’s not who you think.
