[quote=Anonymous]Teachers leaving is not a symptom or a cause, but the result of an issue, apparently in this case it has to do with the school's top brass as the one teacher was quoted as having said that the feeling when you walked in was not right. Closing the gap should not be the objective of any school, it should be educate ALL kids and help them ALL rise above where they currently are. Unfortunately, black and brown children tend to live in poorer and less educated households and only with one parent. The gap is a not because of lack of teaching and instruction The gap is a parenting and cultural issue, not an educational one.

To the teacher - differentation only helps those on the lower end of the spectrum of learning, it does not help those who are advanced become more advanced. If the goal to close the gap is the focus, differentation is key, as it brings the higher achieving and average down and raises the lower end. Not right or fair to those kids. Thank god for AAP![/quote]
