[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is not a MD-specific topic; the achievement gap is being talked about nationwide, and now even between the US and other countries. [b]The growing wealth gap is the drive behind this[/b], and the result is increasingly segregated schools, a hyper-focus on ranking schools, and a large number of children learning in separate and not equal schools. [/quote] You think the achievement gap is because of wealth disparity? I think it's just the latest think being used to try to explain it.[/quote] I think there is a strong link between the student's performance and the education level of the mother. I have seen many Asian kids who are not doing well because the mother is not very well educated. I very rarely hear of the Tiger dad but I always hear about the Tiger mom! [/quote]
