Myth #9: It's not the end of the world if an achievement gap exists

My blogmate has pushed a series of misguided posts about what he perceives as misconceptions regarding the schooling process. Because he is critical of our flawless schooling system, he is obviously wrong 110% of the time. As a fake teacher, I'm obviously the purfect person to disprove his points. I'm also 110% confident that my conclusive nonsense will be so flawless that nobody will make the mistake of believing his more rational arguments.

It's undeniable. The achievement gap persists. Like always, we need to keep pushing our same approach harder and harder until the gap disappears.

Keep in mind that all children are the same. This means that any form of gap must be due to such things as systemic racism, which obviously can be solved with increased dependence on the system. No gaps can be due to such things as variable strengths and weaknesses.

If someone is behind, it could be an indication that home life provides advantages to those who are well off. As my fellow liberals will acknowledge, this means that we need to remove children from their families at a younger age. We can't allow parents to have a say in their children's lives because that would disproportionately help those who are well off.

If someone is ahead, it could be that we're tapping into an area of strength. Since we refuse to acknowledge variability of strengths, this means that we must not acknowledge that most students can move faster than our slug-like pace. We must hinder the seemingly advanced students to ensure equity.

We need to eliminate the achievement gap. In a just society, the identicalness of everyone must trump families. It's families that are responsible for the gap. Once we take children from their homes, then we can solve everything by continuing to do the same things we always have. As always, more of the same is always the best solution to a problem.

What does all of this mean? Instead of utilizing the strengths of our students, we need to continue to hinder progress of our advanced students. This is clearly the best way to move society forward
