On stratification

The essence of differentiated teaching should be to teach students of different levels and levels separately in order to achieve...efficiencyofmaximize。 And based on school grades,Standardized examinationGrades andIndividual examination scheduleIt's up to the teacher to decide, not just based on performance and grades.

Scenario reproduction

The school I attend is an American curriculum high school. When we were in our second year of high school, the school implemented a "tiered" system. The original intention of tiered instruction was to provide more efficient and targeted teaching. In the first tiering, I was assigned to the third tier (we studied the SAT in the first tier, and the SAT and TOEFL in the second, but currently we mainly study the collections series, and the third tier is studying the TOEFL). My grades were not outstanding. I did not achieve my ideal score or the standards for studying the SAT in the last exam. However, due to the timely submission of assignments and acceptable class performance, based on the school GPA and some TOEFL scores (the teacher said GPA was 40%, TOEFL was 60%, but this is obviously...).Unreliable(Otherwise, my classmates' TOEFL scores would be too bad) They stratified me and placed me in the second tier.

According to my own considerations and plan, my study schedule is to start studying SAT-related courses during the summer vacation. I have taken the TOEFL exam about twice before, so I should focus on preparing for TOEFL-related content during this period. Furthermore, the upcoming AP course in May will take up my spare time practicing for the TOEFL, and I will need...More time at schoolLet's practice for the TOEFL. So I contacted the principal and the grade director to inquire about how to keep it on the current floor. Initially, I received their advice, but in the end, they agreed.SupportMy personal choice (I had previously contacted my current teacher and received the same information).Support）。 When I went to my newly assigned teacher to sign the application form this morning, as instructed by the grade director, what I received was...tough、negativeThe reason given in response was: "If I sign for you, more and more classmates will ask me to sign, so the stratification will be meaningless."

I now feel that this stratification is just...surface workBecause the teacher didn't genuinely consider your learning schedule when approving or rejecting your application, but instead rejected it solely based on the "difficulty of the job," this kind of differentiated teaching behavior would be...low efficiency、MeaninglessThis will severely impact my schedule for subsequent standardized exams, potentially affecting my upcoming AP and TOEFL exams.score。

When I discussed this matter with the grade director last night, he promised that he would call the two teachers over for morning self-study to discuss it together. However, the truth is, he will do so.important、DecisiveIf things are delayedDragAlthough I contacted him to remind him several times, he still didn't take any action by the deadline. The principal's reply also suggested that I contact the grade director/homeroom teacher (the same teacher in our class) to resolve the issue. I realized how inefficient it was to resolve such a simple yet important matter in such a school. This made me question the efficiency and methods of implementing other administrative matters in the school, and thus the authenticity of students' college entrance examinations in previous years.

When I went to my homeroom teacher/grade leader again this morning to seek his help in solving the problem, I was told that I needed to solve it myself. Before thatPromiseThe help they provided me was not entirelyInvalidYes? My opinion is that it's better not to mention it at all.

In the afternoon, when I went to the new teacher to resolve this issue again, the procedures mentioned earlier were complete.Change and changeNow, such a simple thing will be completely...complicationThat's it. I was required to write a clear explanation of the situation, and the teacher in my previous class was also required to write a clear evaluation. They also asked me to set a target score that I must reach by the end of the semester. There must be a very formal paper statement (voice-over: the paper "application" I wrote this morning is invalid), and I must be informed before the procedures are completed.Cannot leaveThe second floor. So if we follow this process, if I want to stay at this level from now on...Should I take the initiative to lower my school grades?What I can't understand is, can't I "not go up"?
