[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It can't go both ways - there can't be complaints about the achievement gap and then complaints about parents efforts to bring changes that help eliminate the achievement gap.

The little things do matter. It's hundreds of those little things that added up are making sure that higher SES children are achieving more than lower income counterparts.

By itself, Trix yogurt doesn't seem like a big deal but school is an excellent place to teach kids the basics of good nutrition and healthy eating. It's something that the high SES kids will learn at home but that might not be true for the low SES kids. In addition to it just being useful everyday knowledge it introduces children to science concepts and scientific vocabulary.

Watching one TV show a week might not be a big deal but instead of that one tv show if the staff instead took the time to talk to the kids or even read books out loud that would increase vocabulary exposure for low income kids and that in turn could help with academic success in a way that watching Dora never will.

If you think Trix yogurt and an episode of Dora are causing the acheivement gap, you are both dumb and entitled.[/quote]
