[quote=Anonymous][quote]NP here.

I've seen a lot of ignorance on these boards, 19:21, but you might just take the cake.

Tracking is the problem, and if you don't know what tracking is (or you think it's another word for differentiated instruction) than you need to school yourself.

I'm also going to take a wild guess that you're not in DC.

No, we're not talking about differentiated instruction, which is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from tracking, just as special ed is COMPLETELY DIFFERENT from tracking. And also, beyond that, there are two SEPARATE pieces for consideration here, one being about tracking itself, versus the other, of HOW students are selected for tracking or other programs.

The only ignorance going on here is the indiscriminate munging all of these different concepts together.

Yes, I'm in DC - but I came from somewhere else - which is why I know about these things. My guess is you ONLY know DC, which may explain why you seem to be so confused about these different concepts, and are scrambling them up as you are.[/quote]

I've only posted once on this thread, so it isn't me confusing or scrambling terms, and I'm glad you seem to understand that DI is different from tracking. What you don't seem to understand is that tracking itself is discriminatory, no matter how students are selected. It is a terrible and rigid system.

Also, I don't know why you assume I only know DC based on my single post (unless you are one of those posters thinking you are disagreeing with one person, when, in fact, many people are responding to this thread) but it so happens you are wrong. [/quote]
