Poor students underperform in school 07Apr08
The Toronto Star is reporting that students from low socio-economic homes are lagging behind the general population on standardized tests. The findings are drawn from research performed on data from Manitoba, and show that 3/4 of students in this group who write the tests are attaining a passing grade. The problem is that a number of students are so disconnected from the schools they do not attend often enough to be captured by testing data.
