While this is a well written and well referenced piece, it is a paper with original research and a conclusion, with recommendations. It has a place somewhere, but not in its current form on Wikipedia. The phenomenon will be notable and verifiable, that is not in doubt, but sweeping changes are required to make it acceptable here. We must not confuse well written pieces with Wikipedia articles. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 23:23, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

• Since this is my first time writing a Wikipedia article, could you please provide specific suggestions on what needs to change? I deleted the conclusion, and furthermore do not believe this article needs to be deleted in full. I have cited all my sources, and have made no unsupported claims. All research cited is valid from reliable sources. Please reconsider its deletion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Psflasch (talk • contribs) 00:09, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

• Keep The article needs a lot of work, but that isn't a reason to delete it. Educational inequality is a valid encyclopedic topic. -Atmoz (talk) 20:33, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
• keep Needs work but has good refs and is a very important topic in education and social policy. Disclosure: my political opinions are right of centre in UK terms, but I still think it's an important topic. --Philcha (talk) 13:35, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
