Under differentiation, students of all abilities and socioeconomic backgrounds are taught in the same classroom in order to provide equal access to quality instruction for all.

Recall the recent school board decision to relocate 10,000 Wake Co. students?

'Racial balance' was only part of the reason. The other reason was 'differentation'.

Thank goodness my kids are grown. If I had kids today, they would NOT be in public schools.

What that means is racially, socio-economically, and gender QUOTAS; and you can believe they do it by class; I saw it done in Greensboro when Drew was in K through 3 at a traditional school; the superintendent literally DREW names out of boxes. He'd say, "Okay, I need a black male from the southwest side of town."

Shorly thereafter, I sent Drew to parochial schools and, after the 8th grade, Greensboro Day School.

What is *really* means is that they teach to the common denominator in a classroom. So the AP kids are bored stiff and the lowest ranks STILL don't get it.

IMO, if they are going to do this, they should teach the course and everybody gets the grade they earn. A's get A's and F's get F's.

You and I will be dead before that ever happens.
