[quote=Anonymous]Don't be so sure that the SEM program is not tracking. In my DCs (very good) experience at Hardy, they had explicit tracking for math - beginning at 6th grade, children are on track in 8th grade to take either basic 8th grade math, algebra, or geometry. (and of course, some kids will fall off track and some get moved up to a faster track). There is no explicit tracking in other areas, and that's where the SEM classes come in. A group of kids that's good at English gets a special SEM class or project. A group of kids thats good at Social Studies has similar opportunities. The point is that kids that are good at and interested in something get a extras in that area. The whole thing is made more complicated by the fact that DCPS HQ doesn't want to call it tracking or a Gifted and Talented Program, but don't be fooled - that's what SEM is. [/quote]
