It slows down the pacing of instruction and makes if much harder on the teacher to plan and grade.  On level used to be for kids with strong enough foundation.  Now it's become a skills' class.  You've heard this before - again and again and again.

So if low performers are added to a school, your on level child will become bored, as the majority of time will be spent on remediation.

I know you all don't "get it" b/c you're not in the classroom. But so many of you REFUSE to listen, too.

just turn a deaf ear . . . [/quote]

Anybody reading DCUM would think that the only "low performers" are poor/black/brown kids zoned for other schools. No "low performers" with family backgrounds like mine, living in my neighborhood, no sir![/quote]

You are making assumptions for other people. It does not work.

In fact, it does not matter whether there are low-performing students around me. What matters is, are we going to get MORE or LESS with any proposed change.

If we get more, people are not happy (of course if you have compelling reasons,people can tolerate that) with the change. One way to predict whether we get more low-performing students, is to look at the performance of the school they come from. It is very simple.
