I did not know that. Still does not mean all school districts are created equally though. There are definitely some where the students are not offered the same quality of education

Can anyone shed incite on how data like this is attained? I’m not a research guy, so be easy on me but I don’t understand how any method can create reliable enough data for someone to make these claims. Are they school surveys? Couldn’t find it on the site.

Edit: found it. 1135 parents were surveyed via google forums survey. Is this a large enough sample size? I feel like there would need to be tens of thousands of participants in order to make these claims. Also what’s to keep a parent from lying?

It’s an average of TWENTY parents who IDENTIFY as parents.

Instead of affirmative action based on race, why don’t they create a system that gives chances to individuals who grew up in school districts that receive minimal funding. Those that deserve help will receive it, regardless of race
