[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem is not about HOW they want to close the achievement gap. The problem is that closing the achievement gap is not an appropriate goal. I will gladly pay twice what I now pay in MC taxes to IMPROVE THE EDUCATION of kids on the lower side of the achievement gap. However, I would then be forced (also gladly) to pay 4X more than the new figure (my back of the envelop calculations suggest that is the rest of what I earn) to private schools/tutors or to where ever I have to to make sure that my children get a top 10% education and therefore that the achievement gap NEVER closes.[/quote] Well, yes, that's how percentiles work. If you insist that your children be in the top 10%, regardless of what the top 10% is, then it's in your best interest to make sure that the lower 90% is as low as possible.[/quote]
