[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is really hard on teachers to implement. And it does not take into account the special ed kids who need the regular lessons at a slow and steady pace. Not everyone needs acceleration. [/quote]

Which is why there should be a variety of levels (of all core classes), spread among all teachers.  Much more straightforward than all the meaningless, wordy "E3" or AAP Level Whatever nonsense.  [/quote]

Flexible grouping (aka tracking) is Inequitable. [/quote]

Actually, flexible grouping is FAR more equitable than AAP.  With FG, students can be in exactly the right group per core class that suits their ability.  Far more targeted to each student than AAP/GE is.  [/quote]
Just more segregation with a cool new name. Same privilege perpetuation. This is not equitable either. [/quote]

How so?  Kids being able to move up or down as needed is the epitome of equity.  They wouldn't be locked into either AAP or GE.  Most kids aren't advance across the board, and this allows for all students to reach their potential in every core subject.  [/quote]
