[quote=Anonymous]I just had this discussion with my MS student. He believes that when we talk too much about achievement gap most students just quit trying. Low performing students most often are not of low intelligence. Many a times they are just not trying or do not care. He said that most of the students do not even turn in homework that gets graded for completion. They understand concepts and how to solve problems easily enough but no one is riding them to do homework or finish tests. Most of the time they are bored in the classrooms and see sitting in the classroom as a chore. This was interesting perspective from a student who is not URM but goes to a very diverse school.
