[quote=Anonymous][quote] There's an easy solution...schools should just start ignoring upper income students and stop teaching them materials for the test. The worse they do, the better their greatschools score.[/quote] There is a new book out that talks about this. "It also expects teachers to close the gaps between slow and fast learners. One way to do this is to slow down the fast learners, which some schools do rather well. They can also take advantage of the ceiling effect. This results from the fact that students already scoring at or near the top have nowhere to go but down, while low scorers have lots of room for improvement. In other words, it's easier to improve if your last scores suck." He also talks about how if everyone learned at their own pace the gap would increase.
