C
Feedback
A Incorrect: School achievement declines with the time a child spends in poverty, thus increasing the possibility of having to repeat a grade or be placed in special education classes. A child living in poverty does not have the same chance of succeeding in school as a child in the general population.
B Incorrect: Poor quality of schools and teachers may adversely affect a child's performance in school; however, it is not the major predictor of a child having to repeat a grade or be placed in special education.
C Correct: The chance a child will be retained in a grade or be placed in special education increses 2% to 3% for every year that the child lives in poverty.
D Incorrect: Moving during the school year may affect a child's performance in school, but it is not the most significant factor.
