[quote=Anonymous]We had friends at a Title 1 school and the homework that went home was meant to help the parents who had not completed school learn the material with their kids. The hope was that some of the kids would do the homework and benefit from the repetition but there did not seem to be an expectation that many kids would do the work.

My friends moved after first grade because they realized that their daughter was not going to get a great education at that school. Their daughter is a great kid but not in LIV at her new school, solidly in the good student but not great student who is doing fine camp. K and 1st were not easy for her because they were K and 1st but because her peers were just learning what her parents had taught her at home and what she had been exposed to at pre-school.

There is a reason why middle class parents at Title 1 schools work hard to get their kids into AAP and move them to the Center school. It is not because they dislike the kids at the school but because they realize that their slightly above average kid is getting no attention at their school and things are not going to improve.
