[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Strong readers are placed in advanced reading groups in k-3. Beginning in 4th grade some can go to ces others can get elc at their base school. For middle school, since the magnet eastern is too far away many chose not to send their kids there. So everyone gets to take advanced english in 6th grade. And so it continues like that. Most students take honors English 9 and 10, then AP lang in junior year and AP lit in senior year. So what was the point of providing elc, ces at elementary level when those opportunities are no longer available in middle and high schools unless you go to magnet schools and we all know that most ces kids do not go to magnet middle or magnet high school. I guess what I am trying to understand is that, by enriching the child in elementary school snd then having them take the regular path is’nt that pointless? Because a string reader will be a strong reader with or without ces and enrichment. It seems like a letdown looking at middle school and beyond after ces. Any thoughts?[/quote]

MS "Advanced English" is just on-grade level English. There are not texts above grade level included. Ditto with "Honors English" in high school.[/quote]
