[quote=Anonymous][quote]Wow, Dr. Moats -- way to give up on half the kids in the country! So we should admit we have a two tier educational system? Let's call the Common Core kids the "TAG" or "G/T Selective College" kids, and for the other 50% (we'll call them something like "regular Core" we will reduce the standards to something more achievable? And we'll start with 3rd grade, because God forbid kids get challenged early on. Select the kids who have the cognitive capacity to master the Common Core early, and have special classes just for them? Is that what she wants? [/quote] Have you ever taught in the projects? I have. You must start with what they know and go to what they do not know. That is a basic educational principle. You cannot do all this in one year. [/quote]
