[quote=Anonymous]The ed reforms are unlikely to appreciate people like me because I don't care if the achievement gap narrows. I care if DC kids at all points on the socioeconomic spectrum can grow up to earn decent livings, and enjoy productive lives, as adults. If the gap widens, yet most poor kids still gain the skills to enter the middle class (if as plumbers and electricians), and stay there, much will have been achieved. If boatloads of white gentrifiers' kids become rich, fine, they'll pay taxes. The focus in public education should not be on narrowing the gap, but on raising standards and output across the board, with a view to bolstering our collective economic competitiveness. [/quote]
