[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To 1:43 - I think your correct point is too subtle for DCUM.

They can’t imagine how their kid’s education can be good if others aren’t excluded. [/quote]

How does teaching to each child's ability exclude someone?[/quote]

Because having low expectations for a child creates a self-fulfilling prophecy.[/quote]

So what you are saying is that putting a child in a classroom that teaches below the student's abilities and potential will lead that child not to be as successful as they could be. Am I hearing you right?[/quote]

Ditto.  The hypocrisy of it.  That statement you are making should apply to students of all abilities, those on top and those below.  So if that is your argument then the top students should be challenged to their full potential.  Period[/quote]

There is less of a gap between those at the top and below than you think and it is shrinking. The principal has the data; you do not. [/quote]

It’s still a gap isn’t it?  Also there is a difference between students who score a 3 vs. 4 vs. 5 and their academic level.  So let’s just group all students who score a 3 -5 together with those scoring 1 and 2.  And expect the teacher to effectively be able to address all the students needs at different levels.  Sure.  That is a realistic solution [/quote]
