[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More evidence in support of the AAP center model. Sticking smart kids together will help them. Level 4 at every school will not produce the best results.[/quote]

Sticking the smartest kids from each school together might benefit them a little but at everyone else's expense. [/quote]

No one else is harmed by the center model. Parents just like complaining.[/quote]

Teachers teach to the middle. Remove the top, and the middle the rest are left with is lower [/quote]

NP, so? In an ideal world you'd have tracking for high, medium and low levels. Are you saying that low levels wouldn't benefit from their own curriculum? They should be taught more akin to a vocational school and allow the kids to gain real life skills and certifications. They'd still have the HS diploma.

We are wasting our geniuses by not having more tracking and opportunities for them. (And I have no bias here. My kids are smart, but not geniuses)[/quote]

PP said that no one is harmed when the smart kids are removed from a class. That's not true the kids in the middle are. If you also remove the slow kids, then it works out, but that won't happen anymore. [/quote]
