[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The issue is systemic. There is gap in education attainment between groups of population. Minority groups have limited access to preschool resources, and when they start school African American and Hispanics already lagging behind. Minority groups also less likely to engage in the summer programs. So, the possible solution may be within the reach. Why not use the existing resources like extended year program? Also, offering free preschool program to minorities may help close the gap. Free preschool is a long shot, but extended school year can be promissing. Once performance in the whole population group is lifted up, the magnet population is going to be more represenative as well. How fixing/adjusting magnet selection would help the more fundamental problem of persistent gap in education attainment? Magnet program is not a problem,[b] the general education program is.[/b][/quote]

You are exactly right. How much time and how much resources have we spent to close the achievement gap? [/quote]
