However, when every child is in AAP, there is no more AAP.
And accelerated-pace learning? The general-education kids will not learn at the accelerated pace used in AAP, so the whole class will have to slow down to the level appropriate for the slowest learners. Acceleration will be lost, and the kids who would previously have been in AAP will be bored, and likely lose interest in learning.
Sure - E3 claims to have anticipated advanced learners needing more/faster pace. E3 says they plan for occasional “pull outs” to give advanced learned a little extra work once in a while.
Pull-outs don’t work the way a dedicated AAP class works. Advanced learners absolutely will get far less under E3.
If your school adopts E3, it will be best for your child to switch to private school.
Stop making up BS stories in an election year.
E3 doesn’t mean eliminating accelerated paths.
