[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe it's me, but the YY "tracking" seems different from differentiation because those students are doing a different curriculum, no?  The school draws people for Chinese immersion, so if these students are no longer being immersed in Chinese then it seems like they can never jump back on the track.

Not picking on yy, just asking what seems a critical question, but why is that track filled only with AA students?  If there aren't many native speakers, then I would assume that non-AA parents can't help their children at home.  Then why aren't they too falling behind?  If it's tutoring, then they should provide that to families without means.  I have no dog in this fight...[/quote]

Tracking is highly correlated with SES status-- are the AA students in the different track predominately low SES vs the AA students in the mainstream immersion class mid to high SES?  Several posters on the other thread on YY did claim that ALL kids were provided tutoring.  Many low SES kids regardless of race start off behind their peers the day they start PK, get tracked and never catch up--this is happening all over the US, not just YY.[/quote]
