[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my days of attending Takoma Education Center, now called Education Campus, we had a GT program within the school. A few of us were pulled out of class during a particular subject for advanced instruction.

Not sure why schools can't do this anymore. [/quote]

NP.  I was wondering too.  Why couldn't a middle school just say, in essence, "For 2017-18, we're going to use a combination of objective test results + grades to split all students into three groups for each subject: (1) advanced, (2) on track, and (3) catching up."  The teachers assigned to each group would then focus their efforts and teaching style as appropriate for each group.

It seems like doing something like that would go a long way toward resolving the angst some parents have on these topics.

Why can't some middle school do something like that?  [/quote]

Because the data show it exacerbates the achievement gap - and that is too little to really help the advanced/truly gifted students either.
