Achievement Gap

What can Students do to close the Achievement Gap?
For students, its hard to close something that affects a whole lot of us.If we were given the choice to close the Achievement Gap, most of us would.One thing we could do is encourage students who don't do their work.Another thing is, that we could help eachother in harder subjects, like math.Lastly, we could go around helping students with low grades.Like if one of my friends needed help in English, my strong point, I would help them.
What can parents do to close the achievement gap?
Heres what parents can do.Parents can help with any homework.They can help us study for tests.They can let us stay after school or be at the library for a while,if needed.Lastly,help tune out distractions in the house.
What can teachers do to close the achievement gap?
Teachers can help in alot of ways to.They can give us extra time on homework, or give less of it.They can tell us to study on something a 2 weeks before, then give us a study guide.Go over the study guides a couple of days before.Give us homework, but put it in a way we can relate to it.
What can schools do to close the achievement gap?

Schools can make sure that the students, teachers, and parents are doing what they need to do.They can check up on the students(Grades,etc.) with the counseler(s).Send the students who need extra credit/help to study hall.The schools should give as much help as possible.They should also allow more field trips etc.
