[quote=Anonymous]Why only the top 1%? Why not the top 25%? Differentiated services in the classroom are not working. My child, who would likely not be in the top 1%, is working multiple grades ahead in some subjects. In our parent teacher conference, the teacher stated she couldn't provide any differentiation greater than one grade level ahead. We have private tutoring for DC, so our child receives challenging instruction just not in school. It would be crazy for us to continue private tutoring when an advanced class is available but DC couldn't attend if DC didn't test at the top 1% level. If anything, the selection should be based on those children who are capable and driven enough to do challenging work. Seems like a waste of resources to base selection just on test scores if a child hasn't shown the classroom skills to justify advanced curriculum. [/quote]
