[quote=Anonymous]Am a huge proponent of differentiation and not of the one-size-fits-all-in-a-single-classroom approach of curriculum 2.0. I've got one child in the 2.0 guinea pig year and another who's older. Here's what I don't believe with the tracking argument: That low SES/minority children are unfairly marginalized. In older child's very advanced math class in down county, there is a mix of family backgrounds and economic diversity. Is it a lot of the kids in the classroom? No. But then, the advanced class is something like 1/7th of the kids in the grade in general. Without these advanced classes, fast learners get bored. We saw it with guinea pig boy. He expressed HATRED for not learning anything in math until school finally agreed to go back to differentiating outside main classroom. Now, math is back to being his favorite subject. We parents DO need to speak up with MCPS and the BOE.[/quote]
