The Achievement Gap
1) What can students do to close the achievement gap?
Students should care more about their education. They shouldn't be lazy and always strive to do better. Students should stop slacking off and work to their full potential. They shouldn't give up and do all their work as told. If they are stumbling on a certain subject its their responsibility to ask questions or else they would never know. They need to work hard and be the best they are capable of being.

2)What can parents do to close the achievement gap?
Parents should ask their children questions about school just to make sure they understand what they are doing and paid attention. They should be more involved in their students education. Kids can't do it by themselves, which is why parents should help them. They should encourage them to be the best they can be and telling them that they can do it. that by itself is helping them erupt into a better person.

3)What can teachers do to close the gap?
Teachers can have high expectations and give the students a chance. Teachers need to help the students and push them harder to help them succeed give them encouragement by telling them they can do it. Dont jsut give up on them and tell them that there is no hope and bring them down. They should work everything out step by step and pay attention to each individual and see their weaknesses and help them work on them. Students cant do everything on their own they need help...encouragement.. someone that has the patience.

4) What can schools do to close the gap?
Schools should give everybody an equal amount of education and help those who are struggling with their academic problems. Schools should have teachers who can actually teach and havr the patience to work with the students and be able to help them out. They should have good standards and tools in order to fulfill the right education for the students. They shoudl have good policies and make sure all students go to school. Schools have a big say in the gap because they are the ones that practically the ones that provide the education and made this gap happen .
