Once a student is identified as being behind, MCPS needs to pull them out and focus on intensive 1:1 or small group work to help that child get up to standard. THEN when they are up to standard, you can look to reintegrate them. But MCPS cannot keep pushing kids who are behind grade level through grade level work and classes that they cannot comprehend or engage with.

We have demonized pull outs and differentiation and that needs to stop.[/quote]

no, make that *1000

30% of the students will learn reading/math no matter which way you teach them, another 30  will do well the old fashioned way (phonics and flashcards)...so for the other 40%, try all your new fangled methods on them to see what sticks, but don't bring down the whole class with new fangled teaching and/or teaching them 3 ways to multiply hoping something sticks.  They only need to learn 1-way, and!!!! a student can't continue to part B until part A sticks or you end up with kids in middle school who can't read past 3rd grade.[/quote]
