[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know, if they really want to reach minority students they should look at the studies done on department of defense schools and the test results that have virtually closed the achievement gap between white, black and hispanic kids. The expectations on ALL the kids is high, both academically and behaviorally. And the kids live up to those expectations, in spite of tulmutuous home lives, moving frequently, physically absent parents, many families with only a high school education and large numbers who qualify for food stamps. Expect the best from the kids and you might be surprised by the results.[/quote] But there's this sense of community among military families. So the expectations are the same regardless of SES, education level, family make up, etc. [/quote]
