[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many of the current complaints about students using technology as a babysitter are due to the fact that [b]the teachers' classes are mixed ability[/b]. So he/she is expected to meet the needs of students across a huge spectrum of ability and skills. Without technology, the students would be doing busywork on paper. If teachers could group by ability for math and reading, everyone would be happier. My friends who are teachers cannot believe that they spend so much of their time and money making up work for their 5 reading groups when they could have one or two.[/quote]

This.

Why can't they test everyone and divide them into three groups - above level, on level and below level, and proceed accordingly? Say, if 'on-level' for 3rd grade is reading level P, everyone above goes to one teacher, everyone on or slightly below goes to another, and those who need serious remediation are pulled out for more instruction. From my experience with my child's reading instruction, those levels are approximate, at best.[/quote]

Blame democrats but specifically progressives
