Which of the following is NOT a factor for poor academic performance among low socioeconomic status students ?
Answer: D
Family size is not named as a factor for the poor academic performance of students from low socioeconomic status. The factors usually discussed are the resistance culture of such students towards the school, tracking into lower ability streams, and learned helplessness arising from repeated failure.
Resistance culture, tracking and learned helplessness are therefore the distractors, because each of them is a recognised factor in the performance gap, while family size is not one of the factors in this list.
