[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it would make it better if students were simply grouped by ability as other schools do. Use the cogat and naglieri test scores as a starting point and adjust according to performance. Also, have different groups per core subject. Add another teacher or specialist to the lower levels.

:roll: They are grouped by ability.  Parents just don't anyone to name the groups anything that makes one sound better than the other.  Or the they want the bottom 10 percent to separated out to be by themselves.  As long as their child isn't in THAT group, they don't care about quality or stigma.  [/quote]

But [b]you[/b] don't want the "top" 10% to be separated out??  What a hypocrite.  As long as [b]your [/b]child is in that separate group at the top, away from all those Gen Ed kids, you don't care about quality or stigma - do you?

The point is, kids are [i]not[/i] grouped by ability.  There are simply two big, vague groups of kids - each with varying abilities and a HUGE overlap in between.  If we're going to group kids, at least do it with some common sense and allow them to move freely from one level to another, as needed.[/quote]
