[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Either way, acceleration vs. broader and deeper, we're asking teachers to differentiate. We can argue about whether one approach leads to happier or more well-adjusted or more successful kids than the other. But unless teachers can all of them differentiate, for every kid (not just the top 1% because these kids will be our next Bill Gates, but for all kid's), both approaches are a bit moot. Until we pay our teachers better, we're not going to get to where any private or public (magnets aside) school can provide perfect differentiation within a heterogeneous class.[/quote] In my book acceleration should include broader and deeper.....I don't want a mile wide and inch deep curriculum nor do I want a subject to get beat into the ground.
