[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] It's not LOWERING the standards - it's helping more kids [i]reach[/i] the standards. Your UMC kids will still fully meet the standards. [/quote] How is this helping more kids meet the standards who didn't before? It's putting them in classes with all the more advanced kids and assuming that having the smarter kids in there will somehow inspire them to do better. (or, assuming that they'll just do group work and therefore the advanced kids will be doing the work for the struggling kids. Which will help them 'meet standards' on paper, but not always in reality.) From what I've been able to tell, this proposal takes what is currently the 'gen ed' curriculum, makes that the curriculum for everyone. It doesn't raise expectations for anyone (and for many lowers them) and doesn't provide any additional resources (extra instruction time, extra teachers, or curriculum support) to help the struggling kids.[/quote]
