I really didn't mean it as a criticism!
Just that I have never read or heard of anyone questioning the term "closing the gap" to mean anything but raising standards for the poor.

Then within a short space of time here the query was raised - does this mean lowering standards anywhere along the line?

When I say a cultural difference I guess I mean semantically cultural. I definitely don't mean that Americans aren't committed to raising standards in the US.
