[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course all students benefit from high expectations and high level instruction. Lots of research has shown that people are influenced by others' expectations of them. Here's just one article: http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB106815408551985600 Segregating kids into two distinct tracks that will last through high school and beyond (since it's so much easier to get into TJ from a center) based on test scores when a child is in 2nd grade is really harmful.[/quote] Absolutely agree. Telling one group of kids that they don't have "potential" but the other group somehow does, is one of the most damning things educators can do to kids. ALL students have potential, for crying out loud.[/quote] This just undermines the entire premise of AAP. But not only do they make this distinction, FCPS makes it wholly public and obvious with the entire concept of "Centers."[/quote]
