[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whenever are people talking about how tracking would solve all of the school's problems I have to roll my eyes. I think people only like the idea of tracking as long as their kid is at the highest track if your kid got into a lower track they'd start complaining and suing[/quote]
Those debates would happen at the margin. Overall, however, if you group kids, you decrease the range of skills in any one class, making it easier for teachers to target instruction where it's needed. Students in all of the groups benefit from targeted instruction. [/quote]

And if mcps would simply ditch benchmark and offer all students the enhanced reading instruction, I suspect everyone would do better.

In private school they teach reading through literature, and they also teach vocabulary and grammar. End result: well-equipped students.

Mcps demographics shifted dramatically and they pivoted to focus on test scores by dumbing down the curriculum. Big mistake.[/quote]
