Then I am sorry to say (and I was a low SES student that this did not happen to) that we have to question the capacity for learning that those low SES students that appear to have lost what they learned during the year have.

Capacity for learning? What part of "similar gains" confused you?

Absolutely nothing confused me.

The fact that they lost what they apparently learned in just 10 weeks leads me to conclude that they cannot have actually learned it.

Become what you are
