I'm another PP who finds this system of mixed reading groups ridiculous.  I'm sure one of these days someone will do a study showing how much time gets wasted in class due to this crap, and then we'll change everything around again.  Sure, parents aren't experts.  But, like the other PP, I also volunteer in my kids' classrooms and see how the kids are just goofing off during that reading group time.  And, I also do not blame the teachers.  There is simply no efficient way to teach 6 different groups of ability levels and give equal attention to all of them.  AND, to do ALL of the other stuff that teachers are expected to do.

[b]You still haven't offered up a solution for how a teacher can teach all these different reading groups effectively in one classroom, without wasting the other kids times.  Please feel free to do so - I'd be interested in hearing it.[/b]

Google "within-class ability grouping". [/quote]

If it so great why don't they use it for math too?[/quote]
