[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem is how American schools want to "close the achievement gap".

They never think they should increase the length of the school year, or increase the hours in the school day or  make underachieving students (of all races) get intensive tutoring or mentoring.  No.  Their solution is to create a quota system and have different criteria of selection for different groups, or dumb down the curriculum or make the reporting of grades so general as to be useless.

You know what's been proven to close the achievement gap? Integrated schools.

Nothing has closed the achievement gap.  There are a few things that slightly narrow the achievement gap in some places on a small scale and they often aren't reproducible.  I think it's amusing that people in MoCo think that the schools here will be able to do something about the gap when hundreds of billions have been spent all over the country to no avail.  These gaps are mirrored everywhere in the world.[/quote]
