Americanii descoperă apa caldă!

Americanii, drăguţii de ei, descoperă apa caldă! Prăpastia educaţională între bogaţi şi săraci creşte! Nu, zău? La ce se aşteptau, după ce cretinii din şcoala monetaristă şi un actor de serie B au început să demonteze New Dealul şi să distrugă clasa medie americană?

But a body of recently published scholarship suggests that the achievement gap between rich and poor children is widening, a development that threatens to dilute education’s leveling effects...

We have moved from a society in the 1950s and 1960s, in which race was more consequential than family income, to one today in which family income appears more determinative of educational success than race,” said Sean F.

The changes are tectonic, a result of social and economic processes unfolding over many decades. The data from most of these studies end in 2007 and 2008, before the recession’s full impact was felt. Researchers said that based on experiences during past recessions, the recent downturn was likely to have aggravated the trend. "
