[quote=Anonymous]They will likely take time out of every day, at least for the first quarter, to do some remedial work. They will take more time testing to determine who needs the most help, they will do more focused pull outs, they will slow down the approach, reduce curriculum to the bare minimum to meet the standards, etc. What does that mean for your advanced child? It means class time will be used for this extra attention and, at least at the elementary level, time will be taken from such subjects as science and social studies- which were already being used frequently as disposable classes. It means that children will continue to be sent to computers for their differentiation- finished with all your work? Spend 20 minutes on ST math. Pull outs for advanced children, which were already less frequent than pull outs for the most needy, will be reduced further.

Your child will be fine. But there will be little time to “push” them. Expectation will be that the child and/or parents will “push” the child.[/quote]
