[quote=Anonymous]To me, the issue is not 20% vs 10%, it is not having the bottom 20%. Because of NCLB requirements, teachers have to teach to them as they all have to pass. That will slow down and dumb down the entire classroom. By putting the top 20% in one classroom, all the kids should get the minimum standards, and the teacher can focus on teaching. And they can give work which is challenging to the 3% without worrying about losing the lower performing students. I saw that the second grade teacher had to spend about 20% of her day with only 5 students.... [/quote]
