[quote=Anonymous]The thing is that all children will either rise to the level of instruction or struggle with it. If we start with high level instruction in kindergarten and continue it through 3rd grade, then the children that are ready to soar (regardless of their home life) will present themselves as gifted learners. Instead we have very low standards for k-3. For the children that are not getting enriched home lives, they are falling farther and farther behind and it is really hard to just one day on the first day of 4th grade in either an hgc or a compacted math class to just expect them to be able to catch up. The we are asking the children to make a huge leap and asking the teachers to bridge this huge divide. Forget that- start them in kindergarten! Expect more from EVERY child. Let the URM have a chance of success by exposing them from a super young age so by the time 4th grade comes around, all children that are capable have the background to push forward.[/quote]
