Differentiation in reading GROUPS, not classes. It isn't allowed at MCPS anymore. They used to assign classes based on reading levels. Now it is just a smorgasbord of kids with various reading groups within them. So the highest reading group gets little sit downs with their group and most of their time sitting at a desk doing busy work. If they grouped by classes they could work as a class and occasionally meet in smaller groups.

You think this, based on what evidence and expertise? You assume that MCPS is doing within-class differentiation for reading groups because of "political correctness". What if MCPS is doing within-class differentiation for reading groups because the evidence shows that this approach works better?

And differentiation has been within-class reading GROUPS, not classes, for the entire time of my experience with MCPS. Before Curriculum 2.0.[/quote]
