[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Is that achievement gap the result of Common Core or is it the result of a vast resource gap between high- and low-SES students? [/quote] I don't think it's a resource gap. Smaller schools have fewer resources than larger schools, and schools in affluent neighborhoods are able to offer nice enrichment programs such as theater, instrumental music, etc. But the DCPS academic curriculum is weak at every DCPS school, rich or poor. A rather sad approach to equity. Low SES students often come into DCPS schools with a word gap and a knowledge gap. What DCPS using Common Core fails to do is address these gaps which results in an ever-widening achievement gap.[/quote]
