[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I don't understand this. Are fourth-grade students who are not at the fourth-grade level more likely to meet the fourth-grade standards if you teach them fourth-grade material that is inappropriate for them, or if you teach them material that is appropriate for them? [/quote] If you teach someone way over their head, they won't learn anything. They will shut down and go away (or become a behavior problem so that they can get away). Have you ever taught?[/quote] That is the point. If you teach someone way over their head, they won't learn anything. And they won't "pass" the way-over-their-head test. So the "teachers will teach students way over their heads just to get the students to "pass" the test" argument makes no sense, because it won't get the students to "pass" the test.[/quote]
