To Track or Not to Track?
By Walt Gardner on January 15, 2014 7:26 AM

In an ideal world, all students would possess equal aptitude and equal motivation.  But in public schools, this is not the case.  That's why I continue to be puzzled by efforts to prevent tracking....


Margaret comments:

. Everyone knows that high school isn't really about academics, it's all about athletics.
  To foster real equity in American education we would have to eliminate tracking  and get rid of all team sports and varsity athletics.  

See The Palcuzzi ploy....
