[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]The Achievement Gap can not be closed. There are too many factors that do not have to do with education and school that come into play that create the Achievement Gap. Schools in our area waste inordinate resources trying to achieve something that can no be achieved at any dollar amount. [/b] [/quote] +1000 The home life of these children is a huge factor in why they are underachievers. Some of their parents work three jobs in order to support the family, and between that and the language gap, many of the children have no one at home to help them with homework or to support them and help them to do well. The teachers and the schools can only do so much! [/quote] what do you mean parents have to help them with homework? In high school? Really? I went to high school in Europe and my parents never helped me.In high school level they wouldn't have known how to do my homework. [/quote]
