[quote=Anonymous]There are successful examples out there where schools have done something similar and it has worked. The key difference is that those schools also add on intensive supports so lower performing students can actually succeed in these advanced classes. They create small advisories that are focused on writing and math tutoring and they often create a dedicated team of advisors and coaches who can help struggling kids and encourage them to stick with it and eventually succeed. Unfortunately I think all Wilson is doing is throwing all kids into advanced classes and asking teachers to somehow figure it out. My worry is that this will not be effective in helping anyone or creating real change. [/quote]
