[quote=Anonymous]Another Murch parent here, and 19:15 uses a lot of jargon, but s/he's pretty much right on, from my experience; my older child is in 5th grade, so I've been around for a while. The foundation is differentiated instruction in heterogeneous classrooms; both of my kids have had this every year--fluid groups in math and ELA, based on formal evaluations and teacher observation. The SEM stuff is nice, I guess, but not really the heart of program; as PPs have said, there's been a lot of turnover in the SEM coordinator position, which has made the whole thing feel a little haphazard. Unlike others, I've *never* heard the word "gifted" used (publicly) at Murch--and that's fine by me. I have one kid who is way ahead in ELA and one who's quite advanced in math, and they are both challenged through grouping and pull-outs. The principal is committed to making sure every child is taught at his/her level, and I've been very pleased with the results.[/quote]
