Ethnic diversity a key factor in London schools outperforming rest of country says research. I don't expect Theresa May will mention this.
@greenmiranda @adamjlent @Helen_Barnard indeed - a "large migrant intake" is very different from "ethnic diversity"

@JuliaHB1@greenmiranda@Helen_Barnard I think our differences are semantic. My point was about impact of immigration not diversity per se.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@JuliaHB1@adamjlent@Helen_Barnard And different ethnicities show wide variation in attainment. But overall, positive. -
@greenmiranda@adamjlent@Helen_Barnard it's not ethnicity, it's about typical culture and family structure in those families -
@JuliaHB1@greenmiranda@Helen_Barnard as I said I'm just using the term 'ethnic diversity' descriptively. Sorry if you don't like the term. -
@adamjlent no, it is misleading, inaccurate and wrong. Nothing to do with whether I like it or not. Lazy writing and lazy thinking. -
@JuliaHB1 As I said I wouldn't reduce the term 'ethnic diversity' to purely meaning differences in skin colour.

@JuliaHB1@adamjlent@Helen_Barnard Also, try talking to teachers in predominantly white working class schools - very hard. -
@greenmiranda@adamjlent@Helen_Barnard to isn't the colour of the pupils' skin that is the problem in those schools though, is it?
