[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Former first grade teacher here: When did the school group them? I'm appalled that they would track them with different teachers so early--the kids pick up things at different paces--but to lock them in so early is disturbing to me.[/quote] Our ES started in 2nd grade. they all took a pretest at the beginning of the unit and were placed in classes based on that. Then, when they started a new unit, they remixed the kids based on how they did on that pretest. Three homeroom classes were separated into 5 smaller math classes. It was fluid like that until 5th grade and then the levels were further apart and kids spent all year at the same level. I think it worked really well. [/quote] This was in a FCPS school with LLIV AAP children. By 5th grade, there was no distinction between the top two classes and they were taking the AAP accelerated. [/quote]
