[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you think that this issue has never arisen before? What makes the idea of having a test-in middle school so intriguing and warranted at this stage of the game. I guess when we had [decades ago] the school population to fill such a school to the rafters, why is it a need to have one now. Considering that small schools can't and don't survive per the data being shared?[/quote] Years ago, there was serious tracking and in fact entire schools like Hardy and Jefferson that ran defacto test in programs where the principals hand picked those high performers from around city. Now the current thinking is that putting all levels of students together and differentiating the lessons and the teachers is best for struggling students. But it is not best for advanced students. Parents know this instinctively and thus the call for test in programs[/quote]
