It's fine. The LLIV kids were definitely split into 2 classes per grade and the rest of the gen ed students were mixed within them and the remaining other classes. What surprised me though, is that it doesn't seem to be the case that the Level III or other stronger students were necessarily those chosen to be mixed into the 2 AAP LLIV classes. Seems like a huge mix of kids across all of the various classes.

The mix has been disappointing. Our level III kid wasn’t placed in one of those AAP classrooms when we had been told they’d have a strong likelihood. From what we hear, many ESOL kids got placed in and AAP parents are upset. This school continues to disappoint.

Also....you sound jealous and bitter.

So it sounds like exactly what you were told was going to happen is what happened. My kids aren't enough to be AAP yet, but my understanding is that this is exactly what was supposed to be happen.

That's terrible! The reason most people sign up for AAP is to avoid the masses.

Part of the reason we (and a lot of our friends/neighbors) were so supportive of this is because we have such a great, diverse community and our kids all learn from each other. Most people were excited about this change. The ones who weren't switched schools. If PP's child is Level III, then s/he would have been in a class with all the other kids any way, so I'm really not sure why they are complaining. All the other hearsay is just ridiculous. If her kid isn't in one of the two classes that AAP kids were distributed across, then she really doesn't know anything about those classes at all.

When I saw an AAP kid pick his nose and eat it, I knew it’s all bullshit.

Congrats, your kid is back in gen ed. Don't expect they'll progress like the AAP classes at the center.

AAP shouldn’t exist, so this is a good thing.

So you’re fine with dumbing down the curriculum for all? Everyone who says they should just teach advanced materials all kids have no idea how classroom works. The teacher is always going to have to aim for the lowest level, so nobody is left behind. It’s a real loss for the kids who won’t have access to a faster pace under a flat method.

Every parent had the choice to move their child to the AAP center. I call bullshit on anyone complaining now because YOU HAD A CHOICE.

Ding, ding, ding!! One mom is jealous that her kid didn't get into one of the other classes so she is trying to stir up trouble.

It’s only a shame she/he was told their Level III DC had a good chance of being in one of those classrooms. Otherwise, a Level III kid doesn’t deserve or shouldn’t expect Level IV treatment.

Yes, it's just a way to provide segregation for UMC families.

I don't know why you keep posting this when it's demonstrably not true.

It is a way to provide a private school experience (no undesirables) on the taxpayer dime. Utterly disgusting.

I have two 2e kids. They are sometimes disruptive and probably would be considered undesirable by you. Sorry not sorry.
