[quote=Anonymous]WHen my family and I came to this country, the first thing that my mother bought us was a set of encyclopedia. She made us do homework and more everyday. THen she told us that she wanted us (her kids) to have a better life than hers and that the only way to do that was to go to college. College was always in our minds. It was never optional; it was required. My parents saved most of the money they made to save for college. We didn't go on vacations or have new toys and clothes as a result. To me, the only way to close the achievement gap is if more families start acquiring this value system. But it won't happen easily due to differences in our culture. I do think schools can do something about it though. This school did in CA: https://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2010/12/08/14colleges_ep.h30.html[/quote]
