[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] What would you do to[b] actually[/b] raise the performance of the lower performing students? Not lower the gap by hoping others would drop but actually raise the performance of lower performing students and schools?

# 1) Put lower performing kids in a different class completely - I mean obviously, they need extra time and focus on certain skills they are lacking.

2)  That separate class would focus more on preparing for standardized testing

3)  That separate class would de-emphasize homework (at home) - and even provide a class time for homework.  I can guarantee you many of these kids do not have the same resources or quiet places for homework.  More single parents, more english as a second language, not as much access to computers, etc.  I can attest that this can be just as good, because I switched from a top public to a private, and the private did not emphasize homework (at home) so much, plus we had an extra period for doing homework, and all but 2 kids went to college, and mine wasn't even a top school.

4) That separate class would add extra computer instruction or computer class time use.
