[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If only we could find a way to keep wealthier families from supplementing their children’s education at home and over the summer, that would do wonders for promoting equity, too.[/quote]

Truly wealthy people don’t do this. It’s for anxious strivers. I’m one, too, so I say it with affection. However, rich people have their kids relax their minds and exercise their bodies all summer. [/quote]

They don’t need to. They have the resources to buy their child’s way into a college. The rest of our kids need to be really high performers to have a shot.

OP, ask your PTA to adopt a lower SES school. We are in APS and I clicked on this thread accidentally but it’s an issue everywhere. Our CCPTA helps redistribute resources that PTAs contribute. My kids’ elementary would donate supplies, and do things like a winter coat drive for a sister school.

You will never truly close the gap no matter how much focus there is on equity, so find ways to help but be realistic. [/quote]
