questions on the achievement gap

1.What do you think causes the achievement gap? I think that the cause for the achievement gap is that many kids , rather be popular, and cool, instead of smart and successful.
2.What can students do to close the gap? (3)I think that students can do more work and study harder. I also think that as students we can pay more attention at school and less time to our friends. We could also try very hard to make goals and accomplish them.
3.What can parents do? (3)Parents can ask their child if they have or need help with homework.Parents can also encourage their child to do better in school.Parents should push their child even if it meant to try the est they ever tried.
4.What can teachers / schools do? Teachers could stop giving everuone a different expectation, and wish everyone their best. Schools can give more after school activitys to students who want it , and everyone else.Teachers and schools can also encourage every single student to try his or her best,even if hes from the MF group.
