The statement which identifies the central idea of the text "Behind the Native American Achievement Gap" is:

A. While education of Native Americans has improved over the years, Native Americans continue to be isolated from their culture and history in the classroom.

According to Celeste Headlee, the author of "Behind the Native American Achievement Gap," going to school in America still means assimilation for Native Americans.In other words, schools still teach a sugarcoated version of history - one in which Christopher Columbus is a hero and where the first Thanksgiving was a utopian celebration.Therefore, even if there has been improvement, Native Americans are still isolated from their culture and their history.

This was a conversation between a journalist and a professor of American Indian Studies, who spoke about aspects that explain and throw light on how Americans, today are coping with education, curriculum and knowledge based research.

Explanation:

This was a simple yet deep conversation that spoke about sensitive and crucial aspects of Native Americans and their education over the years. This text is for readers to understand how and why there were certain situations which created a sense of ambiguity, vulnerability and fear of the style that was followed by boarding schools for Native Americans.

Professor Truer talks about how negatively these boarding schools influenced children in the beginning of the 1900s. They created an effect on the entire generation which lasted for more than 70 years till a proper reformation of these ideas and ideology were eliminated, not completely but in majority.

But he makes it a firm point for us to understand that there is no specific agenda or situation that states or shows readers how this is still effecting high school graduates today, for their lower academic performances.

"the children's hour" by henry wadsworth longfellow between the dark and the daylight, when the night is beginning to lower, comes a pause in the day's occupations, that is known as the children's hour. i hear in the chamber above me the patter of little feet, the sound of a door that is opened, and voices soft and sweet. from my study i see in the lamplight, descending the broad hall stair, grave alice, and laughing allegra, and edith with golden hair. a whisper, and then a silence: yet i know by their merry eyes they are plotting and planning together to take me by surprise. a sudden rush from the stairway, a sudden raid from the hall! by three doors left unguarded they enter my castle wall! they climb up into my turret o'er the arms and back of my chair; if i try to escape, they surround me; they seem to be everywhere. they almost devour me with kisses, their arms about me entwine, till i think of the bishop of bingen in his mouse-tower on the rhine! do you think, o blue-eyed banditti, because you have scaled the wall, such an old mustache as i am is not a match for you all! i have you fast in my fortress, and will not let you depart, but put you down into the dungeon in the round-tower of my heart. and there will i keep you forever, yes, forever and a day, till the walls shall crumble to ruin, and moulder in dust away! which literary device does longfellow use most frequently in the poem? a. simile b. metaphor c. repetition d. personification
