This is what happens when you consistently under fund the system over many years. And when I say the system I mean on the ground in schools and in the classroom.

The chair of the report on BBC news now , a Jewish immigrant .. says it can't be based on poverty or class because children of other ethnic backgrounds are doing better under similar circumstances.
BTW, I'm not pretending to even know about all this , just relaying Information.
My girls do pretty well at school ,and I know many kids that don't and I know their parents ... so I see what I see and think what I think about that.
There are so many reasons, poor personal experience of education themselves is often a big one.Why are white kids falling behind though , does the talk extend then onto the parents ? Their home life ...

All interested in this topic should read ‘Boys Don’t Try?’, written by a pair of white male teachers and packed full of research driven ideas to change the way boys are treated at school. Probably the most important teaching book I’ve read since I started and totally changed how I approach things in a classroom.
Definitely want to have a look at that. Can you give us the cliff notes?
Discussion of the ‘Golem’ vs ‘Pygmalion’ effects working to positively reinforce low or high self confidence
Competition in the classroom being quite damaging for those who ‘lose’ and especially those finishing near the bottom
Recognition that boys would rather not attempt something instead of putting effort in then failing
Appreciate that boys will often have to balance being seen to be academic with being more laddish
The gender of the teacher matters much less than the quality, demand higher expectations and it will be returned
Loads more good stuff in there, highly recommended.
Just in case you haven't seen this BSB.
I guess you already have.
Peer pressure works both ways though. My daughter is a middle of the road kid academically. That’s why I pushed for her to go to a better school as she’ll go with the centre of gravity.
I do wonder if Blair’s “choice” agenda has lead to concentrations of “good” and “not so good” kids with little chance for people to see good behaviour and attitudes modelling by their peers. Short of a lottery system for school places not sure how you fix it though as it’s a product of the housing market at much as anything els.
In those cases you need teachers who understand that kind of background but don’t expect less from the kids. PK is excellent for that, fantastic school
Yeah good teachers solve all. I just wonder how practical it is to expect every teacher to be excellent.

Do they, or is this as much, indeed much more about parents than teachers?
Admittedly speaking from personal experience, and without a gauge at the time to say what a good teacher was, I went to a school with good teachers but who were never going to be able level up what was in front of them instead of the system level down.
People underestimate what a huge impact this could have.Give them a smaller class to manage for starters

One of the most obvious differences between state and independent education, and in ‘theory’ the easiest to replicate.Honesty, cut class sizes below twenty and watch our kids fly. Never happen though, you’d basically have to double the schools budget plus a shit ton of capital investment. So government will just tinker round the edges.

Surely it’s less cost to bulk up school budgets to allow for smaller class sizes than just build different schools?or have grammar schools
or have grammar schools
Good thread on African immigrants attainment, most relevant posts:
Would just worsen the issue at hand. Middle class kids get to move close to schools and get tutored through the 11+ and the majority of white British kids end up at schools with no one with any work ethic or academic skill set around their peer group.
Research shows grammars negatively impact the surrounding schools. Unless you’ve got an equivalent for working class kids (and IMO test later in life, say 14) it doesn’t solve anything.
Of course G laughs at what longitudinal research has shown to be the case
Whilst it may be true that there's a preponderance of second and third gens who product of parents who hold overseas degree (though is that a suspicion or fact?), I'm not quite sure what the point is that's being made, unless it's simply that these families are more academically-minded (rather than being pooled from a higher intelligence group). What do you think he is saying, exactly?
