[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What exactly is the "tracking" that keeps being mentioned. Can someone describe what it is and why its currently insuffient?[/quote] It's insufficient for some kids because it doesn't allow the top kids to do the level of math that they would be capable of. Some kids can handle Geometry in 7th and Algebra II in 8th. But only if they do Algebra I in 6th. If that's not offered to them early enough, they won't get it all done. But there aren't very many of these kids so it's a logistical and budgeting problem how to offer it to them. It's easier for the bigger schools. Outside of math it's just about having more challenging coursework generally and not having a teacher who's struggling to work across a really wide ability range. And getting away from bad behavior.[/quote]
