[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]You are making false statements. Your child based on age should be a year ahead and you held him back. So, he is not two grade levels ahead, he is one. He should be in the grade level above. Many schools do not differentiate. Ours does not.[/quote]

You are mistaken.  The PP made a valid argument and presented real facts.

As for your school that does not differentiate--I suspect that you mean it does not track classes.

All teachers differentiate.  Do you really think there are no other kids who are two years above grade level in the class?  There are likely some that are below grade level, as well.  Unless the teacher does all instruction to the whole group--and, as a former teacher, I find that highly unlikely--the teacher differentiates.

Differentiating is done by every teacher, every day.  You need to look up the definition.[/quote]

No, it isn't.  But, keep telling yourself as a justification of holding your kid back.  Kids should be in the proper grade.  Not held back and teachers expected to provide more.  Ours have a few reading and math groups but no true differentiation.[/quote]
