[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]all this assumes that all the parents of kids scoring 5s will want their kids to go to magnets. Many won't. The commute will be terrible for some of them. Some have siblings who wouldn't be eligible and the parents won't want to split them up. A lot of the kids scoring 5s go to charters and their parents don't want to give up montessori or language immersion or a path through middle school. Kids don't want to give up their friends. And what about the kid who scores 5 in one thing and a 2 in another? [/quote] I would really favor a return to tracking. This would deal with differentiation and the issue of the lopsided kids with special talents in one class. The trick is to avoid the racist application of the program by using either test scores with no parental right of appeal to place kids. Alternatively, a class could be open to all cvomets, as long as they agreed to attempt the harder material.[/quote]
