70. Surely some of the so-called education advances are due to the poorest kids moving
out of town. Overall, the more impoverished the student, the worse their academic performance. Apart from rebuilding schools and privatizing them, any increase in academic excellence might also be attributed to African American relocation and a rise in the percentage of students from white (economically and culturally advantaged) households. :(
