Tracking Students

I was very alarmed when I discovered that some students are tracked throughout their educational career as early as eight days into their Kindergarten school year.  This can be detrimental to students emotionally and academically.  Teachers and councilors make  invalid judgments on students that will affect them for the rest of their lives!  I am really glad we were able to discuss many of the issues surrounding intelligence so that when I am teaching my own classes I will be able to distance myself from such obscurities.  I am still unaware  of the importance or assumed validiity that is placed on the practice of tracking students  among  administrators and teachers within schools today, but I will do as much as I can to inform others of the potentials that are related with tracking.  If this is only a habitual practice that takes place beacuse teachers actually think that it is valid, we have a responsibility of informing them otherwise.
