[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just because you don't understand how in-class differentiation works or how personalize learning can make tracking obsolete means that you need to keep up with the world of education. It's not the 80s any longer. Your genius child will be just fine.[/quote]

Ha! Most of us DO know how it works even if we have kids in AAP because that is supposedly what was happening with our kids in K-2. Except what I meant in practice was that the advanced kids were ALWAYS the reading group that got skipped if the week was slightly shorter or missing class time for some reason and what was done extra in math was far from clear in most cases. At best it was a once a week pull out for a short but mostly computer time as a “reward” for done early.

“Many/most Singaporean schools shifted to in class differentiation at least in primary and we should be so lucky as to have their math outcomes “

I am sure it CAN be done well. Montessori does this too. What I am positive of is that FCPS cannot as they already show they do not do this well in the cases where classes are mixed. [/quote]

+100. I don’t trust our school system to implement anything properly*. Because of that, they should stick to the easiest way of doing everything.

* I believe many awesome teachers in FCPS can do basically anything. It’s Gatehouse I don’t trust.[/quote]
