[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those families and children sufficiently challenged with curriulum 2.0 obviously may show little concern for other kids twiddling their thumbs; even if some of these same kids are asked to mentor their own children in the classroom by the teacher.[/quote]

Actually, I think the parents of the students who are "twiddling their thumbs" show no concern about the other children in the class.  These parents are too busy "advocating" for the needs of their own children.   [/quote]

What is your point?  You want the bored, gifted students to teach your kids and do the group work singlehandedly?  Everyone in class should "hang out" or do easy menial exercises while waiting?  Day after day...[/quote]

The point is that the person who thinks parents of "non-gifted" children advocating for the need for their own children are morally bankrupt, while parents who advocate for the needs of their "gifted" children are morally superior.  The first post makes the assumption that a parent of a child who is sufficiently challenged doesn't care about any other children, while demonstrating that she/he only cares about the "gifted" children.  Just as you are going to advocate for your child, I will advocate for mine.

Personally, I would be more than happy to have not only differentiated classes, but to permit the parents to decide in which class their children belong.  However, I think we would need more teachers.
