[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But as for a mental exercise, try this: take a struggling student and drop her in a school with 70% of her classmates also struggling. Now drop her in a school with 70% of her classmates who are doing just fine, some excelling. Research shows that she will do better, progress faster in the school with fewer struggling students. I believe this is part of the charter school effect. Kids who enroll in one of these schools below grade level gets sucked along on the upward trajectory of motivated kids and teachers who can get their teaching mojo going. [/quote] I believe this is true. But, what is the effect on the 70% - the students who aren't struggling? Do they benefit from being around students who are strugglng, or would they be better off where all (or the vast majority) of fellow students are motivated and doing fine/excelling? [/quote]
