[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t see what’s really wrong with closing the achievement gap from the top down. Virtually all the people at the top benefited from unearned privilege.[/quote] What do you mean closing the gap from the top down? Do you mean let the top kids figure it out on their own and focus on the others? If so two problems: You are short changing the kids at the top -- truly we cannot do better than always shortchanging someone? But more important: Ignore the strong performers and their parents will take them out of public school. Maybe not all can afford private but they can afford religious. Or their parents who vote will quickly throw out the leadership. The solution has to be multi-faceted. We are dealing with lots of different issues. But I think we would be better off lifting the bottom than capping the top. [/quote]
