There is nothing easy about trying to boost academic outcomes for poor kids.
Mary Perfitt-Nelson's insight:
“We cannot fix what’s wrong with our schools until we are prepared to have honest conversations about poverty and race,” Lewis said. “Until we do, we will be mired in the no-excuses mentality [that] poverty doesn’t matter. Poverty matters a lot when you are teaching children who are distracted by their lives. Poverty matters a lot when you are teaching children who have seen trauma like none of us in this room can imagine.” Delete the scoop?

It is an issue that we have only recently begun to consider: Computer Adaptive Tests (CAT).
