This has been disproved # again and again by the waves of immigrant asian students from poor # schools who still score in the top of their schools as well as top # in the SAT/ACT tests. Students, not schools, make these choices. # It always comes back to the kid. Well, yes, but the kids have to learn their values somewhere. It seems to me that parents have to learn what sort of support kids need to thrive in school (for instance, the TV is off on week nights) and parents have to be collectively strong enough to counter the lure of the peer culture.
