[quote=Anonymous]Shame on Niki Porter. You already went and ruined access to CES and magnets with your ridiculous lottery, and dismantled ELC, which people loved. You’re watering down the most successful high school programs. And now this.

Teachers DO NOT differentiate. Their classes are too big, they are pressured by admin to focus on the students below grade level, who exist in every school even the better resourced schools. No one is giving them any time, resources or incentive to provide acceleration or enrichment in a mixed ability classroom and there is no accountability mechanism to check and see.

What I would love to hear out of Niki Porter is why. Why why why do you want to keep preventing the kids demonstrating academic need and readiness for above grade level instruction from accessing appropriate learning and instruction. We test these kids up the wazoo and you have plenty of data indicating lexile levels, mastery of algebraic concepts, etc. The data shows you are teaching them using materials well below where you should be. Lumping all kids together regardless of readiness helps NO ONE. Why why why do you want to do that which harms kids and helps no one?!
