[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DP.  It depended on what group your child was placed in.  Agree - count yourself lucky.[/quote]

Please stop repeating this myth over and over. Kids were in separate spelling groups according to ability based on a spelling test, yes.  But the reading  groups were up to the kids - they choose what books to read from several choices. And those group were constantly changing based on what book the kid chose. There were not two separate groups - unless you are saying the teacher had a group of favorites, but they were not assigned different work - except for levels of spelling words. Or when the kids got to choose which type of project to do - or how involved to get in the project. At least we never saw that in the two years we experienced with the 4th grade teacher with two different kids. [/quote]

I don’t know about different groups (though I heard that was the case the year there were two CES classes) but definitely very obvious favoritism and conversely kids that were very much out of favor regardless of who hard they worked. It sucked.[/quote]
