[quote=Anonymous]A cogent description of the problem. But differentiation in a classroom of widely divergent levels is really really hard. Educators agree that it is like the black diamond level of skills: only a few can really do it truly and well. So. Teachers do their best, but in the end teach to the middle and their hearts are really in it for those kids who struggle the most. And their pay checks and very jobs are dependent on focusing on those not making the mark. We end up with mediocrity as the norm in the classroom. Kids doing well or actually way ahead are mostly left on their own. Is mediocrity across the board the price to pay for avoiding the injustices that appeared with tracking? My instinct is that there must be a way to deal with the issues that came up with tracking without lowering the bar for everyone. [/quote]
