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.
