[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]And THIS is why there's an achievement gap. When teachers don't have the same (or higher) goals for all, some kids who start lower, never catch up. This is the mentality that explains why that happens.

No.  Some kids catch up and some don't.  You obviously think that the way to close the gap is to make the kids who can perform on a higher level wait for the rest?  That's what you said.[/quote]

Exactly.  My kid, who catches on quickly, shouldn't have to be bored in school because some kids aren't there yet.  Maybe the solution is to test kids at a baseline at the beginning of the year and split them up based on ability.  Some people learn faster, and they shouldn't be held back because some kids are disadvantaged or some parents never want their child to experience struggle or failure.  I'm setting my kid's expectations high and I damned well expect his schools/teachers to as well.  If some parents don't like it, I really don't care.[/quote]
