[quote=Anonymous]The answer is year round school and extended opening times. The reason why White and Asians are ahead of Black and Hispanic kids is that they use the huge gaps in the school schedule ( evenings, weekends and vacations) to supplement to get ahead. Black and Hispanic kids aren’t innately dummer or less self motivated. However, if they spend every evening sweeping up the family store or babysitting siblings until their parents get home from a late shift while a white/Asian classmate is at Kumon then they will fall behind them academically. Children shouldn’t be judged of their parents dedication to outside enrichment but that’s what our system dose. The equity gap will be closed by closing that time gap.[/quote]
