I really enjoyed Chrissy and Justin's presentation. I thought they did a very good job tackling tracking. It's a heated issue and I felt they were fair and did not play too far on the biases held by our generation of pre-service teachers. The only criticism I can think of is that I wish we would have had more time, as a class, to discuss the issue a hand, but I know we were pushed for time...
I was not aware of all the technical terms surrounding tracking and I was impressed to see how much Chrissy and Justin learned and were able to convey to us. I understood what they said, it was neat and orderly and professional.
When reading Chrissy and Justin's paper I appreciated being able to see all the facts laid out and organized. It really synthesized their presentation and brought everything together. I found this sentence particularly powerful: "By tracking students, we are creating a group of apathetic students who are not excited about their education and therefore fail to perform in the classroom because they are not required to."
