[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think assuming some kids can’t handle is just evil. I came from another country with near 0 English and was given Worldly Wise in 6th grade (book6) along with all the novels (Tom Sawyer, The Outsider, My Brother Sam Is Dead), world history textbook, nervous system worksheets on the first day I arrived at my new American school. I’m dumb as f*** as my husband say, but I caught up in a month. Yes, there were some nights I had to stay up, and my limericks sucked, but my progression made me feel ecstatic, excited for school, and motivated. Needless to say, I excelled in school. I think this is how school should be, and what education should be, raising kids up not a race to the bottom. This was a public school btw.  And this district didn’t have AAP BS. Just quality general education by qualified old school teachers.

[quote=Anonymous]The resources are definitely available GE teachers in many schools.  Training, too.

You are projecting a solution based on your very limited anecdotal experience.  Many kids are not ready and it creates too much pressure and stress.  Let every child learn at their pace.  That is what GE teachers are likely trying to do.[/quote][/quote][/quote]
