[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] If you want to reduce the achievement gap the only way to do it is with more resources. More teachers, more after school programs, more wrap around services, more intervention services. There is no magic cheap way to solve the achievement gap but just moving kids around. Just like moving the deck chairs around on a sinking ship isn't going to keep the ship from sinking. [/quote] I agree extra resourses may lift the bottom but MCPS already offers smaller classes, free tutoring, free meals, free summer schools, free childcare, and free service for parents in schools with high FARM students. I think adding accountability, center offices, school admin, teachers, students and parents, will produce better results. Each student’s progress should be measured, not the gap. If a child entering 5th grade but only reads and does math at 2nd grade level, it is not to ask the teacher to bring the kid up to grade level within one year. [/quote]
