Do you agree with streaming in schools? (how they seperate children in classes according to their intelligence)

Yes. I taught high school and speeding up the curriculum for those that can handle it and slowing it down for those that can not is very appropriate in a learning environment. Otherwise, you get uneducated, frustrated learners on one end of the spectrum and disinterested, unchallenged learners on the other end of the spectrum. And for the record, I could give a rat's ass about the self esteem of the learner when it comes to "labeling".

It worked fine at my high school. Only the top two or three form classes were specifically labeled, and I never got teased for being in the "smart" class nor do I recall anyone ever getting teased for being in one of the lower classes. Streaming also worked well in the years that everyone did NCEA as the lower streamed classes in each subject involved more unit standards (tests with no grading system, you either pass or you fail) and the higher streams focused on getting top grades in achievement standards.

YES!! They have AP classes for the kiddos with higher intelligence. Althought, I wish they took it a step further at times... Many kids are held back...thanks to other kids who cannot keep up.
