[quote=Anonymous]Sadly dealing with the achievement gap is counterintuitive. You actually want the largest gap possible. The goal should be to raise the floor to an acceptable level such as 80% of students are reading and doing math at grade level with the remaining 20% no more than 2 grades below grade level. For kids that are overachieving there should be no limit. Kid ready for calculus in 8th grade then bring in someone to provide the instruction. Raise the floor and remove the ceiling that should be the focus of public education. [/quote]
