[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel as though you are saying there is something wrong with tracking and I am confused by that.
"Tracking" groups students with similar needs together which allows the teacher to create lesson plans focused on the needs of each group. The teacher can work more closely with each group, allowing them to progress more quickly in the subject matter.
Yes, one group may learn more quickly than another, but all the groups can be learning and progressing at the level that is the best fit for them. Sounds like a winning situation for all the students.
I don't think it is a matter of "deserving " and "undeserving" but rather a matter of finding the best fit  to educate all the children. Kids don't all learn in the same way or at the same speed. I think our goal for our schools should be for all the students to be in a classroom with a teacher who can tailor his or her teaching to fit the needs of each student. The best and most efficient way to do that is to group students with similar learning needs together. All students deserve to be in a classroom atmosphere that is best suited to help them learn.
