[quote=Anonymous]I think 'remedial' is too strong. My understanding is that teachers make recommendations for students based on their standardized test scores (I think MAP-R?). Students who hit a certain threshold (don't know what) are allowed to take foreign language instead of Digital Literacy. I think many students who hit the threshold still prefer not to start a language in 6th grade, so it's probably a pretty mixed group of students in the course. My 8th grader took the course's predecessor ('reading') in sixth grade. She said she didn't learn much. I would agree that it wasn't challenging for her, but I think she probably did improve her reading/writing skills...[/quote]
