The higher the SAT scores, the more the house is worth.
Or, is it the other way around?

Before I get really offended by your question, I just need to verify--Are you implying that the more affluent the family..the 'better the neighborhood'..the more intelligent the individuals living there are?
Do you honestly believe that?? And you are in charge of my children's education?
Which has a bigger influence on test scores, what kind of housing a student's parents have provided for him, or what your school has done to educate him?
I would like the public to know that Mr. Stock's flippant and insensitive remark is not indicative of the attitude of teachers in the Wawasee School Corporation.
Sorry, I wasn't trying to be insensitive, flippant, or to antagonize anyone.
I was trying to raise a question that the author who tries to correlate SAT scores with real estate values might be on a slippery slope.
Correlation does NOT imply cause-and-effect. (Which means I agree with jmw that housing might have nothing to do with an individual SAT score)
Something like SAT / Property Values can be related or go together without causing the other.
The title of the article sort of implies that if the SAT scores are high, then you can get more money on the real estate market because of the higher test scores in the area.
I was just turning the question around and asking, "or - is it the other way around." Meaning that often times, affluent parents research school systems and purchase or build homes where they see higher SAT scores in the paper.
Nothing more nothing less. I wasn't trying to make any other point.
Higher property values might just be because that is where an affluent person built their home. And they built it where they saw higher SAT scores.
As opposed to high SAT scores CAUSING their property values to go up.
It was just a question.
Give Dr. Stock a break!
However, we are kidding ourselves if we don't see the discrepency in treatment and service for students who are wealthy compared to those who are not. It happens all of the time. That's not Dr. Stock's responsibility, its yours.
