[quote=Anonymous]In DCPS we have a 'missing middle' sweet spot to teach to. We could either teach to the children of the multiply degreed and fail out 2/3 of students or teach to the children of the unsuccessful and uneducated (which is very rarely their fault, but its consequences for the young are undeniable based on countless studies) and by teaching to allow the least educable to get through the school system, we have low standards and try to figure out what to do with everybody who can learn Algebra and analyze Toni Morrison by 9th grade. I'm amazingly sympathetic with teaching to the least educated, but it leaves us unsure what to do with our kids.[/quote]
