- bumby 2y agoThat's what I was alluding to, but it's unclear how sound of a methodology that is. It seems like a better approach would be to control for parent educational attainment directly, rather than use some imperfectly correlated metric like immigration status.
- LtWorf 2y agoYes I agree that might be better, although still not perfect because not all parents are equally involved.
