[quote=Anonymous]Not from NYC but I'm convinced that taking 6th graders out of elementary is mainly to save money by consolidating them with other grades that need more sophisticated specials (high-quality art, choir, band, orchestra) and math tracking that is just about the last tracking the "equity" districts allow. I am familiar with some districts starting high-quality music instruction in 4th grade. It's rare where I live. But it takes concerted effort to have full musical ensembles in public schools at that grade level.[/quote]
