[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think differentiation is the key. The floor needs to be higher. But then there should be no bar on acceleration.

Achievement gap is not the issue. The real issue is that the lower performing students need to be brought up to a minimum functional level.and all kids need to  be educated to their full capacity.

The bolded is unconstitutional. This is settled law, folks. [/quote]
DP.. some parents in foreign countries pay tuition to send their kids to public schools here.  Are you saying even those kids could not pay tuition and just go to school here for free? d Why bother with tuition then?

Schools wouldn't deny them an education, but they would have to pay tuition to go, just like those other kids from foreign countries. I don't see it as any different.  If you are not a legal resident of the US, you should pay tuition to send your kids to the public schools here.[/quote]

So, there is a very small group of foreign families that pay to use the public schools in the US because they maintain their official residence abroad, and paying tuition is part of the diplomatic agreement with the United States.

That's different from kids who may be undocumented, or who are US citizens with undocumented parents. The US Supreme Court has ruled that public schools must provide a free education to every child regardless of immigration status. Whether a child DOES pay tution as part of their country's diplomatic agreement with the United States is immaterial. [/quote]
