[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You know what, so be it, 7th graders enrolled in Algebra 1 HN.

How do you all suggest we get to equitable math where everyone at each grade level is enrolled in same math level, similar to how we currently have equitable English or Social Studies? [/quote]

We should have Advanced Enlgish, Advanced Social Studies, and Advanced Science. It is crazy that we don't. [/quote]

We do. AA english 7 is a very different class from english 7[/quote]

I mean in ES. Instead of LIV we should have Advanced Classes for each subject so that kids have the chance to be in classes that meet their ability level, not just the kids in Advanced Math.

I know that we introduce Honors and AAP classes in MS and that there are Honors and AP/IB in High School but there are kids in LIV because they are strong in LA but strugle with the math. There is no other option for them then LIV because we don't have Advanced LA. There are kids who would love to dive deeper into science or social studies concepts but the classes cannot because not all the kids are able to grasp the material as presented. Differentiation on a larger scale would engage more kids in ES and would benefit those kids in the long run. [/quote]

At our center school, in 5th and especially 6th grade, LA and Science and Social Studies (and Advanced Math) are integrated - so that they will read about a science project and learn math for it, read about a social studies issue and write an essay about it, etc.  The class cannot be broken up into Advanced LA, Advanced Science, Advanced Social Studies the way that you want.

Although the new basal LA curriculum may interfere with that and may dismantle the integrated classes. Maybe you will get what you want, as AAP is and Level IV is taken apart.  [/quote]
