[quote=Anonymous][quote]I think the primary cause of the achievement gap is poor kids in poor neighborhoods going to underresourced schools, and I really do see a dearth of research looking at questions of the effects of resource allocation. I think we pay very little attention to resource allocation (why is it not part of the accountability system? seems pretty important to me.) [/quote] You'd be wrong. I have taught in poor neighborhoods. It is not the schools. When kids come to school and do not have basic language skills, basic vocabulary, and basic social skills taught at home, there is a problem.[/quote]
