  20. These gaps begin before children arrive at the schoolhouse door. But, rather than organizing our educational system to ameliorate this problem, we organize it to exacerbate the problem.

  21. But by Middle and High School Gaps Grow Increasingly Wider. In both Reading and Math. By the end of high school, even for those students that stay in our school, the gaps are staggering.

  46. How? By giving students who arrive with less, less in school, too.

  47. When we focus on changing those patterns, we get results.
