Answer 1

Answer:

Along with other reasons, the achievement gap among students exists mainly because the educators expect less of minority or low-income children.

Explanation:

• It is critical for achieving something substantial that there is an ample availability of resources, guidance, and motivation.
• In most cases with students, the crude expectations that the educators keep from the students motivate the students to do better at academics and other allied activities.
• Thus, expecting less from the students can cause the students to exhibit an achievement gap.
