[quote=Anonymous]I have an elementary age child in nyc public schools. The problem is they refuse to different students because it’s not equity in their view. Someone will have hurt feelings if they are in the slower math group. As a result you have these classes with very disparate levels. The higher level kids are bored and if you are lucky they keep themselves busy with reading. The lower level kids get some help but not enough because the teacher has to deal with the rest of the class. The mid level kids get lost in the shuffle and many of them are probably just barely failing these state tests. This is just my theory of course. They even tout this “ict” class which has two teachers but half special ed and have general ed. Even with two teachers someone is getting lost in the shuffle here. Our approach is to supplement at home with ELA and doing Russian math class. We are moving before middle school. [/quote]
