Many innovative techniques McKnight pioneered to help close the achievement gap from the top down will live on.  For example, [b]turning all the programs for advanced learners into lotteries[/b], honors for all in HS, and eliminating reading groups for students at grade level or higher in ES have gone a long way to close that gap.[/quote]

But that didn't happen....[/quote]

You're saying all these programs like CES or MS magnets aren't lotteries?
That most HS honors classes aren't basically grade level classes with an honors label?
Or that they still offer reading groups to average students in ES?

These are all practices that started within the last 2-4 years and are now commonplace.

No, I was replying to the bolded text which said "turning all the programs for advanced learners into lotteries." The high school programs for advanced learners were not turned into lotteries, so that claim is false. You should have originally specified CES or MS magnets if that was your point.[/quote]

Yes, she left one or two programs alone, but the vast majority are now lotteries. [/quote]
