This is just wrong. Tracking is needed to optimize outcomes across all levels of performance. I hate to sound rude but you have no clue what you’re talking about, in all due respect. Public education, if you think it should exist, must track students. There is no alternative and nobody disagrees about that.
- dragonwriter 5y ago> Tracking is needed to optimize outcomes across all levels of performance Multidimensional/multilevel tracking of the type used in secondary schools seems to be, if not essential, at least useful to that goal. Unidimensional two-track gifted/mainstream tracking has show itself to be suboptimal, especially for gifted students, who tend to be all over the map in their performance levels in different skill areas. The same techniques of providing assignments that engage at multiple levels and individualized enrichment needed to deal with that within gifted classrooms turns out to also be better for non-gifted classrooms, and to render the whole gifted/non-gifted segregation a pointless exercise that only causes unnecessary harm, stigma, and division.
