Schools Matter: The Poverty Gap is the Achievement Gap: "A new study from the Northwest Evaluation Association may help finally bring an end to the lies about using testing and "accountability" to close the ahievement gap. Once again the evidence shows, this time using test scores from over a half-million kids, that the current educational genocide is doing nothing for the poor except leaving them further behind academically, while turning their schools into chain-gang camps that snuff out any remaining pride and hope through repeated failures. Will the reform-by-wishful-thinking crowd at Ed Trust finally get the message? No achievement gap will be closed without addressing the poverty gap because these gaps are one and the same.
