[CALIBK12] [CSLA Research Update] Advanced courses impact study

[Lesley Farmer]

Overemphasis on rigor derailing U.S. high schoolsBy requiring all
students to take advanced courses and score higher on standardized
tests, states are missing out on deepening learning and teaching vital
critical-thinking skills. Gains come at the expense of other goals for
high school reform, including equity, curricular relevance, and student
interest.Grubb, W., Oakes, J. (2008). Restoring vaue to the high school
