And I am not sure why you are taking issue with the fact that I am not disagreeing with the study (as many others have in this thread). I am just saying, as juillet did earlier, that the correlation between wealth and academic success has been shown in many studies over many years. This study supports that, saying that attendance in private school per se is not a predictor of success. Ok. So once again, the best predictor is family finances. This is what I am saying is not new. Not sure why you are having trouble with this.
