[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does Arlington do no pullout classes or switch classes for anything? I think Arlington parents live in a vacuum if they think kids don't measure themselves against one another.[/quote] I don't recall anyone saying anywhere in this thread that kids don't measure themselves against one another? As to your question, I can only speak for my experience at one Arlington elementary school. DC had one primary teacher during grades k-3, switching classes only for art, PE, music, and Spanish, and with occasional pull-out for gifted instruction. In 4th grade, the students had one teacher for science and social studies, another for reading, and another for math, but no tracking for any of those classes. Same will be true in 5th grade. FWIW, my child tested "advanced" on this year's 4th grade math, reading, and history SOLs.[/quote]
