[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I suspect your experience comes from a more homogenous situation than DC. I really struggle with how that would work in DC, where you will have a middle school student who is reading at a college level and who is ready for pre-Calc in the same classroom with another kid in the same grade who still struggles with reading and writing and who hasn't yet mastered long division. There are some pretty huge divides to bridge here in DC - even a well-seasoned teacher would have a problem making this work effectively. We have both a huge concentration of kids from severely dysfunctional and semiliterate homes as well as the kids coming from one of the biggest concentrations of PhDs in the nation.[/quote] How is a kid who cannot read or has not mastered long division in middle school? Should that kid not have been retained in elementary to make sure he had the needed knowledge to go to middle school?[/quote]
