[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a Basis parent and am SICk of hearing about Basis! I am so much more interested in what our CITY is going to do to narrow the racial proficiency gap-44% AA proficiency vs 92% Caucasian is just despicable and it needs to be dealt with now![/quote]

You assume that the school system has been remiss in dealing with the achievement gap and that it could narrow the gap if it tried.  In fact, in DCPS, they fired a boatload of supposedly ineffective teachers and set up an evaluation system that indicates that the vast majority of teachers are effective (if not, they are fired) and still there is an achievement gap.  This suggests it's not the teachers - but DCPS cannot admit they were wrong about this.  Nonetheless, it must be something else.

The families?  The poverty?  These are things people don't like to address.  They'd rather bash teachers -- or just complain.[/quote]

Where did I say anything about teachers, let alone bash them? I don't blame them.

Unclench and stop reading things that aren't there.[/quote]
