[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not all children are marked on their report cards as receiving acceleration, not all children earned over 90% on their Inview, not all children are earning all P's...  I know it will be surprising to many who read this forum, many children already find the curriculum challenging enough and do not need the accelerated pace.  Teachers are able to distinguish between students that need a faster pace and students who are fine in an on grade level class.[/quote]

I disagree. Our school, with a high FARMS and ESOL rate, does not offer acceleration. I've discussed with many other parents, and none of the kids are doing division in third grade or any of that. There's no way to prove readiness for additional work within that culture. Advocating for more is very frowned upon by teachers and administration. [/quote]

So you think that, because the school does not offer acceleration, the teachers are unable to distinguish between students who could handle a faster place and students who are fine in an on-grade-level class?[/quote]
