[quote=Anonymous]I work for a school district and have been trying to explain to people that there aren’t many differences between the “good” and “bad” schools in a city. They use the same curriculum and the facilities are about the same. The only difference is the home experience of the majority of the students. A lot of money gets spent on intervention and supplementary curricular resources for students below grade level, but no amount of money on online programs and workbooks will change the fact that at some schools, a large portion of kids will go home and not have food to eat, not have their own bed to sleep on, be physically and verbally abused, be woken up by violence, etc.[/quote]
