[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Remove achievement and you will have no achievement gap!!![/quote] Not exactly true because the thing you're calling achievement is more a measure of privilege. [/quote] ? so, the answer is to lower the expectations for all so that non-privileged kids can measure up? -signed a very not privileged child of immigrants who don't speak English, and I took AP classes and got As.[/quote] +1. My parents were dirt poor, didn't speak English, and could hardly afford to give me "privileges." They encouraged hard work and had high expectations for achievement, and this is why I succeeded. I am all for interventions that work, but I fail to see how lowering or getting rid of expectations is supposed to help poor kids break the cycle of poverty. [/quote]
