[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our educational standards should not be targeted at just ESOL and low SES students. We have to make sure their needs are addressed, but there are a lot of children in the US who aren't in either of those categories and they shouldn't be held back. [/quote] But when the majority of students are poor, something needs to change. http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/majority-of-us-public-school-students-are-in-poverty/2015/01/15/df7171d0-9ce9-11e4-a7ee-526210d665b4_story.html[/quote] Poverty is an issue, but not impossible to over come. A lot of poor immigrant kids are able to overcome the poverty issue, myself included. It starts at home. But this is not something a school district can control. However, dumbing down a curriculum will only hurt this country in the long run.[/quote]
