[quote=Anonymous]This is honestly an enormous weak link, but also an area for parent advocacy. Up until about 5 years ago, middle schools offered both an advanced English class and a grade level class. The new honors for all system means that there is not only a single curriculum, but kids are not typically cohorted and every class is heterogeneous. Similarly, HIGH was designed to deliver a magnet level curriculum at home. Schools for kids who strengths lie in analytical thinking, writing, and social studies. However, implementation was left up to individual administrators, which has meant that some schools have cohorted HIGH and some do not. If I were the parent of a current 3rd through 5th grader, I would be putting my efforts into advocating for appropriate differentiation in English and social studies at the middle school level.[/quote]
