So, remedial programs are designed for poor-performing students, and applied to economically-poor students?
As a special case of the more general rule:
"Programs and interventions originally meant to help increase general performance, especially among poor-performance students, are applied to a naive heuristic.
Implementation of the program becomes the goal of the program, rather than an increase in performance.
Whether the heuristic is accurate or not is ignored, the results of evaluations are ignored, and the effect on performance (if any) is also ignored."
