[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If all schools maintained rigor and let underperforming kids fail, this would be a self correcting problem. Some schools take this approach. Others pause the rest of the kids to remediate to the ones who are struggling, or they do tons of group work, pairing the struggling kids up with high achievers to mask how much the kid is struggling. [/quote] The last thing a failing kid needs is a being paired with the advanced kid. Way to make them feel more stupid. And is the advanced kid supposed to teach the failing kid math? OMG. Signed mom of a failing kid. [/quote] FWIW, the head of the math department in FCPS knows that this approach is really bad and is actively discouraging it as a practice. She knows kids need peer groups. Whether this trickles down from Gatehouse and how I don't know.[/quote]
