The Gap

Between the two articles I gave you and the one I wrote you've seen gobs of possible reasons why an achievement gap exists. Of course the problem is complicated, and there isn't any one reason for it. Probably nearly all the theories provided do have some merit.

Pull together ideas from the three articles to create your personal theory of the gap. Then come back later and comment on someone else's theory.
