[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink." The difference is that these students don't have parents who will make them do anything academic outside of school. We give out summer packets and summer reading and offer pretty cool reading incentives like gift cards, trips to Chuck E Cheese, etc. Only one or two kids per class might do these. Parents think that all learning happens at school. So extra help in school does improve students' achievement but then they go home and there is nothing. If nobody makes them do homework or read over the summer, most of them don't do it. Playing on tablets and Xbox is more appealing than reading. So that's what they do for nearly 3 straight months. You can imagine how long it takes to get them back into school in the fall. It's like a yearly yo-yo.[/quote]

Fine, then it is a strategy for title 1 students, but other students shouldn't have to put up with the same curriculum in public just because of lazy parents. And you are painting quite a broad brush of title 1 students as well.[/quote]
