[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's be clear: The size of the achievement gap is not important. The important metric is the low rate of mastery among struggling students. Any talk of shifting the demographics to close the achievement gap entirely misses the point (and belies an attitude that mindlessly buys into the rhetoric of NCLB).[/quote] I am saying that keeping the same number of poor kids and increasing the number of not poor kids ( thereby lowering the percentage of poor kids ) is a net win for everyone. And it has been proven to raise academic acheivement for the poor kids.[/quote]
