Do you usually get this defense on an open Internet forum? I was on reduced lunch as well for many years at my school, and out of the 70ish kids in our AP "block" format(2 hours, same room, co-teachers) only 3 other kids were on reduced lunch. Again, wealthy zip code(s) make up the school boundaries and small % of kids on reduced lunch that I was aware of. If I managed to offend you, that wasn't my intent. There's plenty of research out there showing the importance of parents in the home, and many other factors that have a correlation with income and income drives free/reduced lunch. Additionally, several of my friends did/are doing Teach for America in extremely poor school districts. Add on top of that, that while I lived in LA I volunteered at after school programs for children. So please, don't judge someone when you don't have the background of what someone has been through or seen first hand. One day I'd love to be able to fund a study of things like this, but until that day I'll have to rely on my "bets".
