[quote=Anonymous][quote]Now some of those kids need help catching up, but I don't see how APS can do it w/o separating classes my reading ability. They don't have more staff, so the differentiation in class model just can't work. If my kid was behind, I wouldn't wait for the school to figure it out. Read to them every night. Get outside help if you can. Don't let summer slide get even worse.[/quote] In my daughter's third grade they've basically set up an hour of the day as a study hall/extra help period. The kids who are ahead can do Lexia, finish assignments or read independently. The students who need help are getting extra help during this time. My understanding is that this time was much shorter in prior years and more time was available for activities in science and social studies. This year those subject have been compressed. I don't know what they're doing in older years where there's an SOL on those topics.[/quote]
