[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Regarding tracking, there is also the problem that even if a middle school offers Algebra I (which, yes, all DC middle schools do, at least in name), if a majority of students in the school are below grade level (common in DC middle schools) then that class may not actually compare to a true Algebra I class. That's why people want tracking. [b]It's not just about getting their kids more advanced material or getting their kids into a class called "Geometry". It's about ensuring their kids will be in a classroom where the focus/expectation will be on grade level or above grade level math, and not actually a remedial course targeted at struggling kids but called "Algebra I" for equity reasons.[/b][/quote] This.[/quote]
