[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thing is— none of that indicates whether a kid needs full time AAP or is going to be successful in Advanced Math. It’s not Advanced Compassion or Advanced Visual Arts. It’s great to recognize that our kids have strengths in all kinds of areas and that they all have value. But why would you use this type of data to accelerate a child in the four main academic subjects? [/quote] Teachers cant force math or science into low performing student's head. But equity requires that everyone be called advanced, so new namesake categories that are non-math or non-science or non-english have to be created, so that students who are failing in math, science, and english, can be put into those and called advanced too. So everyone is advanced. Equity is achieved. Schools no longer can teach, they are forced to come up with BS to make everyone feel equal, whether they study or not. [/quote] Sounds kind of Orwellian.
