[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, it doesn't. It answers a different question Q: How can schools close the gap? A: They can't. So, what can close the gap, and how?[/quote] You have to facilitate parents getting better jobs, so they can be around at home more to help their kids. You have to cut down on gang activity so the streets are safer and kids aren’t traumatized by seeing violence. You have to have a complicated, multi-pronged approach to address poverty as a whole. It’s intensely difficult.[/quote] So yes, better to do nothing and complain about how the world will never improve on an anonymous forum. :roll: Glad that MoCo is piloting this in 2 of its neediest schools. It will be interesting to see the results.[/quote] Huh? When did I say it was better to do nothing? I think year-round school is a good idea. Clearly it’s only part of the solution, but I’m glad they’re doing it.[/quote]
