Yes, D is the right choice.
To determine the best answer for this question, you need to evaluate each statement and identify the one that is NOT valid about the presence of a "mismatch between home and school." Let's analyze each statement:
A. There are differences in language and social communication patterns.
This statement suggests that there can be differences in language and social communication patterns between home and school. This is a valid statement and contributes to the concept of a "mismatch."
B. Children's early developmental foundations might be at risk.
This statement implies that a "mismatch between home and school" can pose a risk to children's early developmental foundations. This aligns with the concept of a "mismatch" and is a valid statement.
C. Literacy and school achievement might be hindered.
This statement suggests that a "mismatch between home and school" can hinder the literacy and school achievement of children. This aligns with the concept of a "mismatch" and is a valid statement.
D. Social skills are enhanced.
This statement contradicts the idea of a "mismatch between home and school." If there is a mismatch, it is less likely that social skills would be enhanced, as the differing environments could lead to challenges in adapting and connecting with others. Therefore, this statement is NOT valid about the presence of a "mismatch between home and school."
Based on this analysis, the correct answer would be D.
