[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's intellectually dishonest to act like a teacher is able to offer consistent, integrated, and differentiated instruction to advanced kids when they have a class of 25 kids that includes 1 desk flipper, 4-5 semi-feral boys, 2 kids that barely speak English, a few more that are higher level ELLs and various other kids with IEP mandated needs. That's what my kid's 4th grade class looks like this year. The gifted kids get a an optional worksheet that is never reviewed or explained. [/quote] This really nailed it But it comes down incentives. There are high-stakes incentive for teachers to focus on SOL scores and achievement gaps for ESL students because of Federal and State NCLBH and All Student initiatives. There is no accreditation at risk if you neglect your gifted kids. [/quote]
