The achievement gap is about race. The environment just makes it worse. To say it isn't about race is a disservice. #edp304f13

While the achievement gap is largely a social societal expectations create a hostile environment for learning. #edp304f13

I believe personally in the track phenomenon... students are placed on a metaphorical 'conveyor belt' and shipped through life. #edp304f13

making exceptions should be limited to retain congruity. what are standards for if not for each student to know where they stand. #edp304f13

motivation is a fickle thing. oftentimes students won't motivate themselves until someone starts motivating them. #edp304f13

Another factor which we are currently being subjected to - being exposed to things on the internet students don't want to see. #edp304f13

the permanency and privacy of information and interaction is also a danger in schools. #edp304f13

The best way is for each class to have its own computers or touchpads. These would be limited so they couldn't be abused. #edp304f13

Technology is nice but I think we all know from experience that the possibilities presented by technology may be too distracting. #edp304f13

Teachers and advocates are kinda missing the point here. Telling kids they're wonderful just because does not build self-worth. #edp304f13

Nothing feels better than having people recognize your success when you actually work hard and develop good work. #edp304f13

[Beckett Carter @BeckettCarter]

rewarding students regardless of success or quality kills the competition that guides progress and we as a people stagnate #edp304f13

The true strength of any article, press release included, is in the introduction. That is where a person's attention is attained. #EDP304F13
