[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here's my beef with ITS -- and it isn't really about them. Supposedly excellent teachers matter so we can close the achievement gap - but ITS racial disparity gap is as wide as anyone's. The white/black gap on PARCC ELA last year was 45%; the math gap was 55%. So if I am a black parent living in Ward 5, I'm going to send my kid to DC Prep where they will be surrounded by children like them, most of whom are performing at or above grade level. [/quote] +10000. How can a school claim to support social justice yet have such a big gap?[/quote] Social justice in the classroom has nothing to do with closing the gap. The gaps in DC are more like canyons and come from gernations of poverty, lack of parental involvement, transient home lives, for nutrition, negative role models in their neighborhoods etc. You think BLM events at school have anything to do with this?
