RE: Question 2: Single curriculum

A "single curriculum" doesn't work, evidenced by the numerous former high school students I teach in the basic education programs in Adult Education.  They are pushed/transferred out because they don't have the necessary skills and/or desire.  Fortunately in our basic education classes we can reassess them and provide remediation based on their current skills and not grade level.  Some of them are ESL students who didn't have enough ESL before being mainstreamed into regular classes.  Some of them are students who failed or got D's early on and were pushed on instead of being retained or retaught.  Some are unidentified special needs folks.  At this point they have the option of a second chance through an Adult High School Diploma, but it is questionable whether they will continue to have that opportunity based on Recommendation 38 in this master plan.
