[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Honestly, this is clearly a school issue then. I have two kids. One AAP and the other gen ed. They BOTH did vocab, book clubs and fun projects. They both also had critical and creative thinking lessons. You clearly need to address these concerns with your principal. [/quote] Of course it's a school issue. Schools with low FARMS and low ESOL populations can actually teach in gen ed. Schools with higher ones can't. [b]Unfortunately, thanks to No Child Left Behind, schools are rated based on whether the bottom kids can meet a fairly low benchmark. So they focus all of their efforts on helping the bottom kids pass the SOL rather than doing much of anything for the kids who were already going to pass the SOL.[/b] [/quote] This is exactly right. No Child Left Behind + going too far with inclusion really screwed a lot of schools. [/quote]
