[quote=Anonymous]What worked in my comprehensive MS in NYC (part of the "real world" last time I checked) were academically tracked classes in core subjects. Classes were taught on 3 or 4 different levels for each subject. By contrast, our in-boundary DCPS middle school, Stuart Hobson, lumps many 6th, 7th and 8th graders who work many grade levels apart into the very same science and social studies classes. The casualty of the arrangement in the DCPS program is majority in-boundary enrollment. Most in-boundary UMC parents seem to flee for charters after 4th grade. The result is that SH still enrolls more students from Wards 5, 7 and 8 than those from Ward 6. You're still sure that academic tracking is a bad joke on poor minority kids at risk of dropping out of school? Why? Even SH has offered "advanced" ELA and math classes for more than a decade now.[/quote]
