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 .

TO LISTEN TO THE STORY CLICK HERE..........

* "Success is boring. success is proving that you can do something that you already know you can do....Failure is how we learn."
I agree with this quoteup here ^^^^ because i believe that if ur a perfectionist then u becomke dull and boring who wants to do sumthin they already know that is soo not cool ...wats the fun in that whereas wen u fail u become stringer and u get back up and u have fun in the process itsa good to learn sumthin that is new to u rather than it being repeated as it goes in ur head.

*the biggest failure in my life is that i have done is well i'd rather not say but still after doing my "failure" i felt bad becaus ei had let my self down but it was a good thing cuz then i learned sumthin out of it..4reeolz....

*I think that you made us listen to this story tpo torture us lol jk jk but yeah i thougth u made us listen to dis story because u wanted to tell us sumthin important that failing is good cuz it makes u learn more rather then learnin sumthin u alredy know yup u get me ...okeedokee..then

The theme of this movie is to "pay it forward." the message that this movie is trying to convey is to help other people and have guts and do not give up and be brave..word!!!! the character that i find most interesting is Trevor because he thought of this idea all by himself its funny how a little boys idea could lead to a big movement all over the country or even more.......If i wrote the seconf part of this movie the kind of characters that i would star in this movie would be like the same teacher and same mom and the mopm would be the same too. i would like make the mom and the teacher have a kid and then that kid would learn from his brother and then he would dot he same thing that his brother did and he would help out the 0ther people and like give them money n food n stuff like dat and the usual evrery day things that people help out with. then trevor's dad gets in a fight with mr seminet and then lioke wen he leaves he gets run over by a car and then dies and the person that kills him says sorry and gets to know aerlene and then he know bout paying it forward n yeah the movement goes on yup thats pretty much it......

After the first month of high school I feel comfortable hanging around with everyone and I am now used to the uniform. I still think its ridiculous that we have to pay if we don't have our shirts tucked in.....but its like watever......It wasnt quite wat i expected i thought it would be a little bit more stricter but watever. I guess I can trust this school to do what is best for me because the people here seem like they know wat they are doing. I feel that i have earned the trust of the administration of this school i guess ......:)
