I think we need to put way more resources towards early childhood eduction so that we have kids in better learning environments early on. Once that happens kids will be on a more level playing field going forward
The kids of these specialized schools and the parents of these kids all say that it isn't the teachers or curriculum that makes these schools so good. It's the students. All of them are there to learn and education has been emphasized from early on which how they got there.
We need to get everyone on board like that starting with elementary school
Back to my suggestion

“Over 80% of black 7th graders in NYC fail to receive an adequate math education?”
“7,498 black NYC 7th graders out of the 14,566 students who took the state test scored the lowest possible score of 1. A score of 2 means below grade level, so what does a 1 mean ? 1’s are not caused by the student being a poor test taker. 1’s are caused by a student not knowing the material. Students who earned a 1 were failed by our society.”
We NEED to focus on K-7 education.
