[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course all students benefit from high expectations and high level instruction. Lots of research has shown that people are influenced by others' expectations of them. Here's just one article: http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB106815408551985600 Segregating kids into two distinct tracks that will last through high school and beyond (since it's so much easier to get into TJ from a center) based on test scores when a child is in 2nd grade is really harmful.[/quote] And one solution is to get rid of TJ. The demand for AAP Centers would drop precipitously.[/quote] An even better solution would be not to start the rigid groupings at age 7. Wait until quality school for all has leveled the playing field a bit and for kids who might just be late bloomers to declare themselves.[/quote]
