[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's an interesting idea - move all the students with IEPs moved to their own school. Oh wait, that would be discrimination and we have decided as a society to mainstream everyone. We could test and pull out all the top students to go to a different school. Oh wait, that would discriminate against the students so don't get to go to that school.

This keeps going on and on and will not change until we rationally look at what works. The least DCPS could do is not socially promote so that all students on a grade are at grade level, regardless if that means that some students have to repeat a grade. Reepetition is not failure.[/quote]

Do some research on why and to what extent social promotion exists, then get back to us.[/quote]

I know, I know - we would rather have a class of 14 year olds with reading abilities ranging from 2nd grade to 12th grade level and expect the teacher to handle it rather than thinking that we COULD end up with 10 tear olds in 1st grade. SMH.[/quote]
