Some blog followers might be interested in a recent post “The Overriding Influence of Poverty on Children’s Educational Achievement – Redux”
[Hake (2013)]. The abstract reads:

ABSTRACT: Among the 263 Comments (as of 4 March 2013 15:27-0800) on Diane Ravitch's (2013) blog entry “Why I Cannot Support the Common Core Standards” at http://bit.ly/XGpEpK was one by “Penny”" who wrote on 3 March 2013: “We know that poorer (lower socioeconomic) students tend to do poorer in school. How about looking at the true root cause.”

To look at the “true root cause” see, e.g., the poverty-related references from my complete post “The Contentious Common Core Controversy” [Hake 2013)] at http://bit.ly/Y7ocMv:

“So much orchestrated attention is being showered on the Common Core Standards, the main reason for poor student performance is being ignored - a level of childhood poverty the consequences of which no amount of schooling can effectively counter.”
- Marion Brady (2012) at http://wapo.st/15Z4kTg.
