[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question for parents who have kids who didn’t make the lottery but are bright and above grade level in reading. Scores above 89th percentile. Are you worried about not getting elc next year?[/quote]

The school should be pulling qualified kids in even if they aren't in the lottery. Some schools are going to an ELC-for-all model, so all kids will get it. [/quote]

So they're raising all students to this higher standard?[/quote]

Of course not. It’s just a way to ensure that no student’s needs are met. The teachers will spend the whole time trying to get kids below grade level to be able to handle a curriculum that is well above grade level. Way to go, MCPS. [/quote]

That doesn't make any sense. Demanding a higher standard ensures that more student needs are being met.[/quote]

Kids who are struggling to even meet grade level standards will not get the skills they need to work on with a curriculum that is exclusively above grade level. Conversely, those who do need enrichment will not get time with the teacher to delve deeply into a challenging curriculum. Everyone loses in the name of “equity.” [/quote]

And many will rise to the occasion making tremendous gains having been challenged.[/quote]

There current model of putting all abilities in the same class is not working. The teacher spends most of the time helping the lower performing and IEP students, and the other students are not learning much. Why would this change if they make the curriculum more challenging? [/quote]
