[quote=Anonymous]18:23 I think you ask some valid questions.  In  my mind there is a point where motivation matters a lot and that along with background should enable a child to be in an advanced class.  My question is how do you help a kid say between 8-11 catch up if they have had a less rigorous or even less effective early education so that say by 7th grade a tracking system is less about class standing and more about effort and interest?   I think the structural issues that are raised is that so much time is spent on just catching even let alone going forward in many parts of the city, that even a smart motivated child is not getting pulled forward so they could take advantage of an advanced program.   I do know that people will point to KIPP, but if anything that provides the rule who will pay and fund the extra programs and support.  Also maybe even more importantly will get parents to support their kids in these programs?  One of the reasons parents cite for leaving KIPP is that it asked too much of them. [/quote]
