Die zusätzliche Finanzierung benachteiligter Studenten ist wirksam, um Lücken zu schließen, aber nicht die durchschnittliche Leistungssteigerungen, neue Studienfunde

Their distinction between low achievement, which was not necessarily affected by extra funding, and underachievement was interesting. They were rather vague about how they calculated „expected achievement,“ which was key to that differentiation between low and under, so I would like to learn more about that stochastic modeling.

I’ll admit that my bias makes me inclined to accept the results, as my own experience working as a consultant for low performing schools led me to believe that we were effectively assisting certain students who were lagging behind, but not necessarily affecting the student body as a whole.
