Diane Ravitch in her hard hitting ?Diane Ravitch?s blog?

<http://dianeravitch.net/> wrote in an entry ?The Word Not Mentioned in the Debate: Poverty? athttp://bit.ly/RfuGY4:

?Poverty. Lots of talk about the middle class. Tax cuts for the middle class. Saving the middle class. Doing more for the middle class. Not one word about poverty. No mention that nearly 25% of the children in the world?s richest nation live in poverty. Not one word.?

more than 40 percent of the variation in average reading scores and

46 percent of the variation in average math scores across states is

associated with variation in child poverty rates?

<http://bit.ly/ff8BVj>. Berliner argues that: ?poverty places severe

limits on what can be accomplished through school reform efforts,

particularly those associated with the federal No Child Left Behind

law. The data presented in this study suggest that the most powerful

policy for improving our nations? school achievement is a reduction

in family and youth poverty.?
