[quote=Anonymous][quote]It sounds like you are missing the point. Why would those larger societal problems be more evident at PBES than they are at ESS or other local schools with similar or more challenging demographics? Kids dealing with those larger societal problems do better at other schools than they do at PBES.[/quote] +1 No one is attacking PBES (or TPES), and no one is promoting another school instead. Piney Branch is a great school, but we cannot pretend that the achievement gap doesn't exist. I'm not an idiot - I know the achievement gap may never fully close, but test scores suggest that poor and working class kids, as well as non-Asian kids of color, do worse at Piney Branch than at other schools in the larger neighborhood. That matters. Or, it should matter. [/quote]
