The achievement gap in education: Racial segregation versus segregation by poverty

https://www.brookings.edu/blog/brown-center-chalkboard/2020/01/20/the-achievement-gap-in-education-racial-segregation-versus-segregation-by-poverty/

There are many reasons for persistence in the achievement gap, including that the legacy of separate and unequal may cause segregation in the past to have continued effects today. Looking directly at today’s situation—how important is today’s segregation per se? Black students mostly go to school with other Black students. Black students also mostly go to school with low-income students. Do either of these forms of segregation contribute to the racial achievement gap?

Signs a Child Might Have Auditory Processing Disorder

https://childmind.org/article/signs-a-child-might-have-auditory-processing-disorder/?fbclid=IwAR19ksmgCeEIErrO0y028cOyDcIgLvmNn930XssVgtyQRHKMZFwSAfxJh0c

Some young children seem to have problems deciphering or decoding the sounds that make up language. Even though they have normal hearing, they miss a lot of the details of what’s being said around them, especially in noisy or distracting environments. These children may have a condition called auditory processing disorder, and that can interfere with both learning and interacting with other people.
