[quote=Anonymous]Before and after school programs would do A LOT. These need to be more than just doing worksheets in a cafeteria with a bored aid guarding the door though. The problem with underperforming kids is that they come into school with a large deficit and it builds over time. The morning time should be spent front loading and filling gaps for what will be covered in class and then the afternoon spent reviewing and practicing what was don't in class. The goal also shouldn't focus on the gap. It should focus on bringing up the lowest performers to grade level and then offering the opportunity to all students to go beyond. Too much focus on the "gap" leads to curtailing achievement opportunities beyond grade level for fear that asian or white kids might benefit and then the goal posts just were raised for the educators.
