[quote=Anonymous]OK, so why offer AP or IB Diploma classes in high schools if differentiation within the classroom is the best solution all the way from K to 12th grade? Why do many of the suburban schools in our metro area offer tracked academic classes in core subjects as early as 4th grade? My sibling's children attended a 4th-5th grade Center for the Highly Gifted in MoCo, where I'm told that almost half of the students are children of color and almost one quarter are low SES. When you push differentiation within the classroom in all core subjects after elementary school in gentrifying neighborhoods where the achieve gap is vast, you get segregation, lots of it. Look at the demographics of DCPS middle schools EotP if you doubt this.[/quote]
