I agree with your general point. I think you are underestimating poor families and overestimating more well-off families as far as the home environment goes though. Some of the most neglectful parents around are the ones with the most money. I wasn’t implying that the teachers themselves were necessarily better teachers, but according to my sister’s experience it’s not just about the “teaching”. The school itself and the experiences the school provides along with the fact that the teachers can focus on teaching and not constantly having to maintain law and order and keep the peace contributes to the positive learning environment. I don’t have kids, but if I did, they would obviously be black and I would want them to go there. The original question was, “Why would a black parent send their kids to Parkview?”. That’s why, in my opinion. I don’t disagree with your general point though.

So you think poor people are inherently dumber? Yikes.
