[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are able/ motivated kids who should have one set of instruction.

There are struggling students who should have a second set of instruction.

There are behavorial problem kids who should have a third set of instruction.

This is what it was like when I went to school and it worked well.  I understand the concept of mainstreaming and am okay with it as long as it doesn't bring down the other kids in the class with distractions.[/quote]

It might have worked well for you, but it didn't necessarily work well for everybody else. This is not a new debate in education.[/quote]

Why should advanced learners be  punished?  I feel very strongly about that as I didn't have parential support so MCPS 20 years ago provided me with an environment where I could be successful.  Everyone else had the same opportunities I did..if they didn't take advantage of them that was there fault.  I'm speaking as someone who didn't eat breakfast had a candy bar for lunch and was always begging my dad to take me to the grocery store.  I'm in the top 5 percent of HHI now.[/quote]

Nobody is saying that advanced learners should be punished. [/quote]
