[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To 1:43 - I think your correct point is too subtle for DCUM.

They can’t imagine how their kid’s education can be good if others aren’t excluded. [/quote]

How does teaching to each child's ability exclude someone?[/quote]

Because having low expectations for a child creates a self-fulfilling prophecy.[/quote]

When my child was in elementary school and was directed to read “just right “ books (meaning at a level that pushed but did not frustrate her) was the fact that one student has a lower “just right” level than another considered low expectations?  It was not, it was considered the level that would help them learn and progress, regardless of whether it was below at or above grade level.  Why is it reasonable to push everyone to learn at the same level when clearly some need more challenge and some will succeed better with more support?[/quote]

Because DCPS does not offer 'more support'at Wilson unless a child has an IEP, and because elementary school is not high school. [/quote]
