Busboy, I think they would agree with your points - "Many kids from poorer, disorganized homes donât have these internalized models. The schools create a disciplined, orderly and demanding counterculture to inculcate middle-class values. ..... Basically, the no excuses schools pay meticulous attention to behavior and attitudes." No excuses would include actually attending school in addition to behavior and attitude.
