[quote=Anonymous]I was reading Amada Ripley's book The Smartest Kids in the World focusing on why American schools are not cutting it relative to other high performing systems like Finland or South Korea or even Poland. She had a lot of points she was trying to make, but one of them that stood out too me is that the U.S. has an obsession with identifying kids as "smart" i.e. gifted, but if we actually had rigorous classrooms this is a not really necessary and more effective. It is my understanding that this is the point of the school enrichment model. While I have been in tracked systems and get why they can be important I wonder if part of our obsession is really what is holding back our education system. [/quote]
