[quote=Anonymous]Honestly.  Some parents just absolutely suck at parenting.  They just don't care and school is optional to them.  They don't encourage their kids and treat them as burdens.  The only way to close the achievement gap is to get the girls to close their legs.  I am an L&D RN and I had a 21yr old last week on her 5th pregnancy.  2 died in utero.  Third child she had.  Do you think any of them have a shot at a good life?  Do you think she does?  She was watching reality tv shows, fighting she couldn't have food, and had no emotion except disgust of pain during the whole thing.  It is nauseating. I have teacher friends who are floored at what their kids tell them.  Mommy slept all night with her boyfriend, Daddy doesn't come visit anymore,  the police came to my house.  There is no closing the achievement gap on these kids, sad as it is.  Teach them the level they are on and hold them back until they can advance to the next grade.  Get better social services outside of school and ones that work with school.

But no, the gap will never be closed.  [/quote]
