[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You might want to check out Jeannie Oakes work on tracking and the ultimate problems it causes.[/quote] Her research was done 40 years ago, well before Yale discovered 15-20 percent of students were walking around with dyslexia, often without proper diagnosis or remediation. Now, a child with the correct accommodations could access that upper track even without perfect reading skills - which have nothing to do with IQ. Better systems are in place to allow children access to the upper tracks. More could even be added. Certainly 60% of a cohort should not be in compacted math. But don’t completely cut it, adjust the requirements and make sure all students have the correct accommodations to access the on-ramps. [/quote]
