[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many of these students, esp. inner city and poor rural are 3-5 grade levels behind by 9th. How do students like this succeed or are they already lost causes?[/quote] Way too much focus on poor kids. [b]MOST public school kids in general are three grade levels off par by high school.[/b] Middle class families are clueless about this.[/quote] If this is the case (I don't necessarily doubt your claim because I have no evidence either way but I would love to see some research on this), then wouldn't that simply move par? I'm not sure the above statement can make logical sense, depending on how "grade level" is defined. If it's "the level at which students in a given grade are expected to be capable of working to X% proficiency", wouldn't that standard itself be based on how most kids are performing at a given grade? -NP[/quote]
