[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After reading this I'm convinced the best way to close the achievement gap isn't through educational reform but by requiring parenting classes for parents of low performing students.[/quote] It is more than parenting though. Close the gap requires a societal approach. [b]Poverty, crime, racism, immigration, none of these issues can be solved by the school system[/b] but all contribute to the achievement gap. I think it is too everyone's benefit if the schools are not too focused on the gap. Instead, the schools should focus on value added to each child. A school cannot be good or bad just because they got high /low SES kids. Instead of comparing kids from different demographics, compare the high SES kids from different school and see which school does a better job. Same for the FARM/ESOL kids. [/quote] Or by the parents - as you say.[/quote] I meant cannot be solved by the schools. [/quote]
