[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] So annoying that Valerie Ervin seems to be blaming the "achievement gap" on MCPS. What about talking about the responsibility of parents for a change and getting rid of all these racial categories for measuring performance? [/quote] Agree with this. If the parents don't care, there is no way to close this 'achievement gap'. Crazy if they continue to spend more money on this.[/quote] It's very rarely because parents don't care. It's usually because they don't have the time and/or resources to help. [/quote] Agree. That is why dumbing down curriculum is misguided. The kids who really need help should get them at school. That means direct explicit instruction of reading and math at their level and lots of drills. Kids from high SES family may survive the reform math instruction but the low achieving kids need a more direct approach. [/quote]
