[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP again.  Interestingly, there are some kids who were placed in AIM who were not in Compacted Math.  They find it incredibly difficult, but the teacher doesn’t seem to be slowing the class down on their behalf.  [/quote]

The teacher shouldn't slow down the class and the parents should supplement if the kids need more help.[/quote]

I can not help but visualize this as follows:

The school is a bananaboat.. the teacher is a driver of the motorboat that pulls it. The speed of the bananaboat is dictated
by the driver who tries to drive as fast as humanly possible. The kids are dropping off the bananaboat right left and center
but the few strongest ones, the ones that have been blessed by early birth dates or redshirting, have stonger hands, and also
they are supplemented by their parents who have been on banana boat before and know the rules so they have them excersize
at home day and night so once they are on the damn boat they won't let go. So the driver of the boat looks behind
and see nothing but kids flying in all directions but as long as he sees few kids holding on he keeps cranking up the speed
to see at which point he has to slow down to maintain the crazy speed with few strongest individual holding on.

This is what it means to teach to the few strongest kids.[/quote]
First, in the advanced classes there are more than just the few 'strongest' kids. Second, if you're not advanced ,you catch up first, otherwise you won't even fit in your proverbial bananaboat.
Lady, your analogies are odd.[/quote]
