Your Role in Closing the Achievement Gap

At those schools where I've worked where there is no achievement gap, parents know that there is homework even when students say, "There is none," or "It's done already."
Parentally assigned reading, writing, math or science assignments will help close the gap. No school homework? Okay, here's Mommy (or Daddy or Guardian) homework: Do 30 math problems on this page.

Watch how quickly your child does start doing assignments the teachers give. Then, watch the achievement gap close.
