[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't get it. How could a school like Jefferson focused on serving below-grade-level students also serve high achievers well? Unless the high achievers were being taught in all their own classes, which sounds very unlikely, how could advanced students find appropriate challenge sitting in class alongside peers lacking basic skills? How could school like Jefferson, which is more than half empty, offer, for example, upper level language classes in several languages, as Deal does? And how could such a school attract teachers with experience teaching cohorts of gifted kids? Even if two dozen or more Brent 5th grade graduates were to enroll, how could it possibly work? [/quote] Jefferson used to do it. The high-achieving test in kids were separated from the rest of the students...non-test in students were literally placed in the basement of the building. [/quote]
