[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] What evidence do you have that these changes will actually lead to kids gaining a better understanding of the basics of math? Serious question. [/quote] NP. What evidence do you have that they won’t?[/quote] DP. Many teachers are saying that there's no way they can differentiate for students ranging from the remedial through the gifted in the same classroom. Before they remove all tracking, they should demonstrate that it is possible to engage the full range of students in a single class without ignoring the top kids or failing to support adequately the bottom kids. FWIW, it's not just the parents of advanced kids who are concerned about this new proposal. Many of the parents of struggling kids are worried that their kids will be placed in a class too fast for them without the proper supports. They're afraid that their kids will be resented for slowing down the class or be mocked for their struggles. [/quote]
