(February 7, 2008)--Low-income and minority students in Texas are more likely to attend schools with inexperienced teachers who are not fully certified according to a study by Washington-based The Education Trust, which advocates for low-income and minority students, released Thursday in Austin.
The nonprofit group examined the 50 largest districts in Texas, finding "sometimes stunning" inequities in teacher credentials, experience, turnover and average salaries in 43 districts.
Experts have long believed that teachers with the most experience are most effective.
State educator advocates say the results of the study are nothing new.
The report found that schools educating the most low-income and minority students are more likely to have teachers who lack full certification, or have fewer than three years of teaching experience than schools with fewer such students.
And it finds that the highest-poverty and highest-minority schools are also likely to have higher teacher turnover rates than other schools.

It took a study to figure this out? How much money was spent on the study, when it could have spent in the schools. We as a society have lost all commonsense. It should not have take a study to figure these type of things out. Instead we should be taking action to fix these type of problems.
