[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you find out what the problems are, can you address them?  It is wonderful for the reach out and concern but what can you do with such an over-whelming outcome?  Why not gather the AA parents who are doing things positive and reach out collectively to all.  Therefore, the good, better and best scenario will encompass all to be continually successful.  I applaud the outreach but I am apprehensive in the approach.  I am assuming as an individual you will include those who are employed with DCPS to facilitate such a meeting?

As for the gap, is it the goal to close it gradually? Can we look at the overall improvement as miniscule it is of .05% and build upon it?  There's not a parent who doesn't want the best for their child in the realm of education.  We have become the microwave generation.  Put in, push buttons, set the time and produce a proficient child....beep! Then if not good enough, reheat and produce an advance child.

10:08, I can't put my finger on it, but your post hit a nerve.  Can you explain more...[/quote]

The thing is, if you are willing to accept 0.5% improvement a year, then the school system will only improve by 6% in the 12 years your child is in school.  That's not enough when less than half the kids are proficient. [/quote]
