CT News Junkie | OP-ED | Poverty Does Matter In Achievement Gap Debate

CT News Junkie | OP-ED | Poverty Does Matter In Achievement Gap Debate: "What’s more, while CCER might prefer propaganda to facts and research, Gov. Deval Patrick certainly does not: “There is an inescapable association between socioeconomic status and future achievement.’’ Paul Reville, Secretary of Education in the Commonwealth State, also recognizes “the undeniable correlation between poverty and educational attainment.”
