[quote=Anonymous]It seems that most meaty topics in this forum break down along a philosophical divide between those who: 1. Emphasize promoting integration between those from varied socioeconomic, racial, and preparatory backgrounds to close the achievement gap, versus: 2. Favor tracking, test-in configurations, and small-scale differentiation (for those with special needs, behavioral issues, need for wraparound services) to promote individual achievement/improvement. Are these two approaches necessarily at odds with one another? It seems that in general leadership and lower SES parents favor the first method, while higher SES parents generally favor the second (especially when it is their child in question). I wonder if there is a way to accommodate both approaches in a way everyone can be comfortable with and will ultimately lead to better outcomes for everyone. Are any schools out there achieving both currently?[/quote]
