Oh the irony.

Me an under acheiver? never :P

'Most low achievers come from disadvantaged backgrounds, commonly in urban areas'.
I think this quote from the article says it all myself and so it is a social econonic problem and nothing to do with someone's potential/brains. Looks like they have a handicap to start with and their environment restricts their choices and ability to do well at school.

[Browney]

Seems fair enough. I'd agree with it actually.

[Minstrels]

I is not no under achiva luk @ me my grama is de bezt and my spelin is de gratist I dont no were dey gt dis fakts from do u?

Well they have to consider that like 95% of Britain is white so there's a higher concentration of low achievers who are white. They can say they've picked out people based on the ratio or whatever but the probability of them finding a low achieving white is going to be much greater than the probability of them finding a low achieving person of some other nationality.

Why label people? and in my school it's mostly the 'chavs' who are in top sets. so no.

In fairness this shouldnt be a superise, look at the young white population of the uk, a good proportion of them are chavs. So is it really that supprising a good proportion of the young white population are also low/nill acheavers?

There not chavs, this can be pretty much proven by the fact, they even turned up for school.
