[quote=Anonymous]I think there are a few assumptions being made here. They are uncomfortable, but it would be good to get them out. 1. Can all teachers really differentiate (either accelerating or going deeper)? Does it mean each kid in the 25-kid class gets his own curriculum? Is it reasonable to expect a 1st grade teacher to be teaching colors to one kid at the same time she's teaching multiplication to another and algebra to third kid? Yes, I think this would be ideal, but I'm asking if it's possible and practical. 2. We're talking about limited resources here. More time fir the kindergartner doing physics means less time for everybody else. Is that OK because that kindergartner might be the next Einstein, as one PP said?[/quote]
