[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who decided this?  The whole of humanity.

Like it or not, we live in a society that gets ever more complex and full of new pressures.  And like it or not, in order to make it in today's society, more and more you need to be proficiently literate, able to do math, and so on.

If students cannot master those core skills, they will almost certainly end up spending the remainder lives in the lower end of the income scale.

A modest investment of time and energy spent in grade school can pay off tremendously over the course of the rest of one's life.

Study after study shows this to be true.  It's too bad that some people don't take it seriously and then wonder what happened, when they end up in poverty.[/quote]

Who decided what?  I was talking about the term achievement gap, not the need to master core skills and to make a modest investment of time and energy.  Even doing those things, there is going to be an "achievement gap" if that means not everyone performs at the same level, even if they put in the same effort.[/quote]
