[quote=Anonymous]Looking at the 3rd grade class rosters, I wonder if what they mean by differentiating at Beverly Farms is that they have assigned the kids with issues to one class, the grade level kids in another, and have one class for the "advanced" kids.  It seems that my child has had almost entirely the same kids in his class since 1st grade.  Previously, segregating kids and not having kids on multiple different levels in a classroom was viewed as discriminatory.  Maybe MCPS's philosophy of diversity in the classroom has changed to accommodate the new curriculum.

One major disadvantage I see with keeping kids in the same classroom is that they only get to know and work with a small percentage of the kids in their grade.  I see nothing in Curriculum 2.0 that doesn't allow for kids to go to one teacher for general math instruction and another teacher for general reading instruction.  Sure the subjects are overlapping with science and social studies but the subjects could be covered more at the individual child's level with the pull out.  Students could also have more opportunities to work on relationship skills (a goal of 2.0) with exposure to more of the student population during the day.[/quote]
