[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ideological reasons are well intentioned but an utter disaster in practice. When for example you have a middle school classroom where some of the kids are already capable of reading at a college level, and others can't read at all, there's so much disparity that no teacher can meet any of their needs effectively. Even with superstar teachers, there will always be students missing out, the classroom will be always dysfunctional and uncohesive as a whole.[/quote] Hmmm. I don't agree that it is an utter disaster in practice. The problem is, that it is not applied consistently across DCPS. What you are describing above does not happen at every DCPS school. At our school kids who are not on grade level receive a great deal of support and a lot is done throughout the year to assess if kids are truly missing out and teachers adjust accordingly. Differentiation can work and it is working in some schools.[/quote]
