[edit]

The use of attributed in the following seems odd...but I don't have the original text. "The author of the study... felt the students' overall "excellent" academic progress, improved attitudes toward school and better social skills could be attributed to" Did the author attribute these to the schools' efforts, or merely feel they could be attributed to these? hgilbert (talk) 04:05, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'll go back and double check later but this comes from Monk's review of Babineaux's work. There were no data to draw causation between the improvements and the nurturing atmosphere and teacher dedication he observed at the school. In other words, this would not be an unreasonable conclusion to draw (in his opinion) but further study would be needed in order to prove this was the cause of the academic progress, etc. Does this help?Jellypear (talk) 15:01, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
