So you're saying it's nonsense that Teacher A  in a school could consistently have kids across sub-groups who perform better on a measure of reading skills than Teacher B??  That happens all the time.  And Teacher A coaches Teacher B on his or her methods .Some sub-groups need more contextual reading supports, more practice with phonics etc. than others and sometimes those differences intersect with race/SES.  And Teacher's A's strategies for teaching reading might be more effective for all groups, while Teacher B's only works with kids who have a lot of pre-literacy skills developed already (thus consistently producing gaps).

I wish all educational equity discussions were this close.  You two seem to be arguing about the minutae.  I agree with a lot of what you are both saying.  Meanwhile, our son's principal is pushing the racist Kendi on his students and believes that a test is racist if black kids don't score as well as white kids.  There's an ES teacher who said he will not assign books written by white men.  And an admin who defined whiteness as a system of oppression.  These people are mentally ill and should not be allowed near children. [/quote]
