[quote=Anonymous][mastodon][quote=Anonymous]Serious answers only. How can schools raise performances of students at the lowest levels? Free meals help nourish brains and bodies, are they "healthy" is questionable. What else? It it sending home books (lots of books) for them to read? More math practice practice practice. Is it helping change their attitude towards learning, less screen time? Is it identifying learning disorders in Pre-K (if eligible) or by K? Parents/guardians of these students need assistance too but there is time and language and cultural barriers- getting them information about identifying learning issues, ELL services, attitude/views about learning?

My two cents:
1. Decrease the use of screens - not only for academic work but no screens for entertainment or teaching a new subject. Teachers need to use white board or any material to teach directly I stead of playing a video to teach.

2. I think for children that are struggling or even just lower percentile- practice, practice, and practice of foundational skills in math and English are essential. Since HW is a problem for children with inadequate social support- I would recommend that it all be done at school.

Eureka was a waste of time, imo. Teaching Math concept well and then practicing it a lot is a great way to do well in Math. For 1-2 children that don’t understand the way it was taughtA the teacher can pull them to a table and try different methods of solving the problem- until they can understand the concept.[/quote]
