[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious answers only. How can schools raise performances of students at the lowest levels? Free meals help nourish brains and bodies, are they "healthy" is questionable. What else? It it sending home books (lots of books) for them to read? More math practice practice practice. Is it helping change their attitude towards learning, less screen time? Is it identifying learning disorders in Pre-K (if eligible) or by K? Parents/guardians of these students need assistance too but there is time and language and cultural barriers- getting them information about identifying learning issues, ELL services, attitude/views about learning?

Attract more Asian families. Get parents, alumni and star students to volunteer for tutoring.[/quote]

Asian families are attracted to districts and programs that set their children up for success. In MCPS their biggest presence is in the Wootton district and magnet programs.

If you want more Asian families, you need to prioritize education. There's a decent chance they are going to split up the Wootton district to make other metrics look better on paper, and if that happens, you're going to drive many of those families out.[/quote]
