[quote=Anonymous]Here's an article that was in Bethesda Magazine last month. It seems Starr is not going to budge about grouping students together in math. Previously he was the superintendent in Stamford, Connecticut. I'd be curious to know what has happened up there now that he is gone. Did their school system go back to grouping by abilities or not. Here's a section pulled from the article I linked to below: "Once again, he was defending his opposition to the grouping of students by academic ability—an issue that defined his tenure as superintendent of Stamford public schools, where he ended the longstanding practice known as tracking despite protests from some parents." I'm going to see if I can find an online forum for Stamford public schools and ask parents what is happening now that he is no longer there. http://www.bethesdamagazine.com/Blogs/Education-Matters/January-February-2013/MCPS-Superintendent-Says-Mixed-Ability-Grouping-is-Here-to-Stay/[/quote]
