Does your home school not provide pull-out advanced math and reading sections?[/quote]

My elementary school currently provides pull-out for advanced math for 3rd, 4th and 5th graders. The school has curriculum 2.0 and there is no advanced math pullout anymore. However realize that even in the existing advanced math groups the range is way too wide since the school tries to create a math class based on age and not ability. So, a lot of the time teachers are focusing on kids who come to class underprepared. For reading the kids are differenciated based on reading level and that is avilable only 15 minutes of class time every day. I do not believe that is sufficient for the kids. What I would rather see is kids of varied age be grouped based on ability so the range in the class is small. This way each child gets educated for the whole class period. The ability assessment must happen every year. This is where everyone would win. But we are far from the ideal situation. Hence we still need to advocate for all kids until utopia arrives.[/quote]
