[quote=Anonymous]Right. There is this weird thought that if you put enough smart kids from stable families at a school, that alone will result in advanced learning. I think it happens sometimes at the ES level because parents of these kids ask for more and depending on the admin and the teachers, the teachers might choose to offer that type of differentiation. (I don’t think that it is anything that these students have a “right” to, however, unlike students who are entitled to special supports under IEPs- so you are really relying on the discretion of the school). It changes in MS and HS though. If the school isn’t offering advanced classes, then that just means that the bright kids won’t be challenged. It is much harder for parents to insist on an advanced course offering than it is to ask for differentiation in an ES classroom. [/quote]
