[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tracking:  As a teacher with 30+ years experience in Montgomery County,  and as a student who grew up with tracking, it is the best method for average and high-achieving kids.  We cannot sacrifice those smart/super-smart  kids for the lower achievers who rarely make it out of [b]the SES class anyway. [/b] Sorry to break the news to you. They rarely come from families who value education.  You cannot just wish that that they did and it becomes true.

I have seen MoCo dilute and dilute the curriculum for 30  years, and so has every teacher who has been here for decades. I sent my own kids to private schools starting in middle (junior high) schools. Many, many public school teachers do the same. [/quote]

The "SES class" is what, specifically? SES stands for socioeconomic status. You have an SES, I have an SES, Ike Leggett has an SES, my kid's friend who lives in an MPDU has an SES, everybody has an SES. Did you know that?

Also, given your attitude that poor kids are going to do badly anyway so what's the point, I sure hope that you (a) haven't taught my kids and (b) are one of the teachers who frequently posts on DCUM about quitting MCPS and moving elsewhere. Maybe the Mountain Brook school district or the Bedford Central school district.[/quote]
