Lither reaction further reduces the students' chances for success in school, and contributes to the downward spiral of failure and demoralization. It is important to note that the differences between groups in abstract reasoning ability (intelligence) are small, and the averages of all groups are neer the 50th percentile on the test (Raven) norms. It therefor can be concluded that differences in intelligence are not determinants of group differences in school success. The principal determinants of low tirades appear to be poorly developed proficiency in the basic academic skills, and low conformity as measured by teacher ratings on the Model Behavior scale and violations of the school's rules and regulations. Both low income white end Native American students are severely handicapped throughout their school careers by poorly developed academic skills in reading, math and lanouane. The problem begins in the earliest elementary years and becomes more serious with each passing year until finally the point is reached (about the 5th 7th grade) where the requirements of the curriculum totally exceed the level of skill achieved by the students. From that time on the students simply flounder in their courses until they drrp out or, less frequently, are graduated. Compensatory education procrams have not been effective in reducing deficiencies in academic skills, largely because they have not been directed to the root causes of the problem. The interested reader is directed to a report entitled "Factors Responsible for Low Achievement of Indian Elementary school `.students" for a comprehensive analysis of the causes of academic skill deficiencies. The same report discusses the origin of low conformity behavior, which is stipulated to be a joint consequence of student reaction to academic failure, and of conflict between the cultural model of the school and that of the sub-cultures of lower income and minority students.
