Kids with a desk and a quiet place to study do bet...
It sounds like a plausible mechanism by which students in poverty experience poorer academic results though, even if it's not the only mechanism.

I guess the question to ask is: if you gave the kids a desk and a room of their own by itself, would academic performance improve? Or would academic performance improve more if you raised the parents out of poverty?

One plausible mechanism out of thousands. The trouble is that it was a plausible mechanism before the study too. What have we gained?
