I can recall the children/students being classified and put in certain reading groups and I wonder if that is still being done....
some schools have LRP, I tranfered to several schools in my 9 years of elementry school I had tranfered 5 times, and all the schools learned different things at different times, so I really did not learn several things because of all the transfers, but in grade 2 after my first transfer I was automaticly put in LRP but its only for reading mostly. I dont know why I was in it, the only thing they did not like was my a's they forced me to make them with a tail I had been tought to make then straight at the school before that, anyway I was one of the best readers in the class, and I was paired with the not so good people to teach them to read, so why I was in LRP I have no idea, but I hated it, it made me seem dumb. so my mom and dad wrote them a note asking the school to take me out of it lol, and they had a thing for the really smart kids to, and then everyone else was just normal. I dont know if they do it any more, grade 1-6 was a long time ago lol
