[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Now tell me why nearly one-quarter of the kids still can't pass proficiency tests so easy that my 3rd grader scored 100% on the DC-CAS. [/quote] Who cares?[/quote] Um, lots high-SES parents in the city. How much can kids get of of studying the Renaissance etc. when they can barely read? Again, too much instructor time and energy going to reach kids lacking basic skills. You hear Latin teachers claim "Oh, but the kids we don't serve well are those who are behind; the advanced kids aren't shortchanged." Not buying it. The high octane CK sequence cannot work well when at least two thirds of the kids in any given 5th grade Latin class are unable to score advanced on the CAS, and nearly a third are unable to score proficient. I didn't grasp how easy the DC-CAS actually is until my 3rd grader, who is no genius, scored 100%. This April, I kept her home on testing days. [/quote]
