[quote=Anonymous][quote]"the students are at a level where you can use the curriculum" - again, you need to look at the big picture. When you have kids showing up in middle school who can barely read or add 2+2 that means there was a problem in elementary school. Your answer then is apparently "the middle school curriculum is wrong because it's not relevant to the level that the kids are at" essentially ignoring the real problem. Your solution is to rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic.[/quote] The middle school standards may not be "wrong", but they cannot be used with those students. And, it would be very unfair to test them on material that they can't get to during the year even though they are making progress based on where they started. This is not rearranging deck chairs. And we're not on the Titanic. The kids are improving, but can't make enough progress (several years worth) in one year. [/quote]
