      ‚Closest‘ is very vague here. Very emotive imo.

      The fact that (some) kids from challenging backgrounds demonstrate challenging behaviour should come as a surprise to no one.

      Teachers prefer kids from similar backgrounds who are well-behaved. Shocking. How could this have been predicted?

      Interesting article and really demonstrates the challenges we face as a society – with no easy answers. It would be interesting to see how this compares to say 50-75 years ago, you would hope that while socio-economic factors still influence relationships, that it would still be an improving picture – even if its just that research exists and the biases are explained. Before the sub piles on, I don’t care how bad a 5 year old is – its a 5 year old and they should be supported to be all they can be. I acknowledge its easier said than done though.

      Lets remember that every euro invested in early years family supports and education saves 10-17 euro down the line. Especially if it is targeted at those kids who most need it.

      That’s just money, the societal impact saves would be enormous as well. Scotland was one of the most violent places in Europe until they started treating it as a health issue.

      I don’t think there’s anything too controversial here.

      Uncomfortable, sure. But controversial?

      Most teachers more comfortable with children with similar backgrounds to themselves. More news at 10.

      Massively depends on the teacher but people tend to feel closer with those who are similar to them. I’m not saying it’s right. If the teacher grew up in lower class chances are they’ll be closer to those, and the same for those on the other end and the upper class. It just happens that most teachers fall into middle class territory. Educational jobs tend to run in families. Closeness doesn’t mean the teacher won’t teach everyone the same though.

      I grew up lower class and find it easier to relate to people with a similar background because you share experiences.
