[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+100.  Perception or not, many high SES neighborhood parents want pullouts.  So a school's leadership should give them pullouts to help them and the school.  No skin off the school's back if the parents raise the money to pay for pullout instruction, as they do at Brent.  Differentiated learning isn't as good because there aren't as many instructors involved.  More good teachers means more learning, helping explain why private schools in this area rarely place more than 16 or 17 kids in an elementary class.

But many of the people asking for pullouts at LT aren't parents willing to raise money to pay for the instruction -- they're people whose kids don't even attend the school, basically saying "we won't send our kids there until you offer pullouts," which is very different from what you're describing.

I'm the LT parent who posted earlier that I prefer the differentiation LT currently offers. I would be more supportive of requests for pullouts if they came from parents of 3rd/4th/5th graders at LT, as opposed to parents of ECE kids who live IB but don't attend LT.[/quote]
