[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is an achievement gap--blacks and Latinos are behind whites and Asians.

How can that gap be closed?

Blacks and Latinos must work harder than whites and Asians.

If whites and Asians study 2 hours a day, blacks and Latinos need to study 3 hours a day.

If whites and Asians study 4 hours a day, blacks and Latinos need to study 6 hours a day.

Until that happens, how can the achievement gap be closed?[/quote]

DP.. why? The ^PP is not wrong.  My kid is not athletic, so he needs to work harder and practice more to be at the same level as the rest of his teammates.  He may not like that fact, but it is what it is.   He sucks at sports, and he knows it, but I tell him that part of the problem is that he doesn't want to try harder to get better. He'd rather play on his computer.  I say to him that he obviously doesn't want it enough if he isn't willing to try harder.

My other DC's reading scores are not super high, and gets upset when DC doesn't score well. I tell this DC that if DC wants better test scores, DC needs to read more, but DC would rather watch TV, says reading is boring. OK, then, I guess you are not going to get better test scores because if you want to get better at something, you need to practice more.   That is a truthism that is applicable to life in general.
