[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I posted previously, but I think there is a unnecessary forced scarcity to this program.  There are more deserving kids than there are slots, which sends parents into a tizzy.  Level III should be expanded and made more substantive -- something that would take the pressure off of Level IV.  Level II is a joke and something most teachers try to do anyway.

I agree but this won't happen county-wide because it's too close to tracking. It would make a lot of sense to move all kids around to different classrooms for core subjects based on ability at the elementary level but there would be a ton of pushback. [/quote]

I understand that grouping kids based on ability isn't the current education norm, but that doesn't mean it doesn't work if done right (challenging work for all, make sure kids continue to push forward on all levels, etc).  Again, we're just asking too much of teachers too.  If you have kids below grade level, at grade level, above and way above... they will teach to below and at grade level.  Kids above grade level are ignored and thus why people go nuts about AAP. [/quote]
