[quote=Anonymous]Are the people complaining about no differentiation really seeing none at all, not even within the classroom? Or is the complaint that children don't change classes for math or whatever? Do your kids' report cards not have the sentence about getting enriched/accelerated math instruction? Or is the complaint that it is not considered to be above grade level instruction?
Our DCC elementary school has math groups within the classroom, some kids switch classes for reading groups. They don't go to the net grade for reading group, but all the highest readers go to one teacher for reading group. I don't have a third grader, but I heard that one of the third grade teachers has developed some sort of enhanced instruction for the kids who were accelerated last year, and were repeating a lot at the beginning of the year. I don't think they are going a year ahead, but they are moving through the curriculum much faster. These changes were put in place by the principal after input from parents.
No, I won't name our school, because I don't want our principal getting flak if these sorts of changes are considered "going rogue."[/quote]
