The higher the social class of other students the higher any given student's achievement.

Schools are successful only insofar as they reduce the dependence of a child's opportunities upon his social origins.

I'd propose that each central-city child should have an entitlement from the state to attend any school in the metropolitan area outside his own district - with per pupil funds going with him.

Children from a given family background, when put in schools of different social compositions, will achieve at quite different levels.

If we refuse to accept as inevitable the irresponsibility and educational unconcern of the adolescent culture, then this poses a serious challenge.

The higher the social class of other students the higher any given student's achievement.

The present structure of rewards in high schools produces a response on the part of an adolescent social system which effectively impedes the process of education.
