[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are at the center AAP orientation, ask if there are kids from the gen ed. population of the center school who are "pushed in" to the AAP classes for language arts or math. If they say "no" ask how this is fair to those gen ed kids who happen to be zoned to a center school...why do they NOT get this opportunity??

So many Level IV AAP schools allow the principal to place 3-5 high-performing general education kids into the class for math or reading. If my kid is one of the general education population who just happens to be be at a center school, why shouldn't he get that same chance to benefit from the Level IV curriculum??

I know this was prob. not the question you had in mind, OP, but Center schools tend to brag about how your kid will ONLY be with county-eligible Level IV kids if you choose to send your kid to their school. But if this is true, then it isn't giving the gen ed kids at the Center the same access to those services that the kids at Level IV Local schools get. Not cool.[/quote]

Get off your soapbox. Inappropriate response to this question. [/quote]

I think she should go to the aap orientation, and ask that question herself. Maybe she'll get the answer she's looking for. [/quote]

NP here. I think she actually might get the answer she is looking for. As there are now about 58+ Local Level IV programs, PP raises a valid point that some students in general education at these schools are receiving single-subject AAP instruction that hasn't been available to non-AAP students at Center schools. But I've heard they're now offering this at centers too but are trying to keep it quiet because it takes away the special elite argument that centers use to lure parents to the center over the base school.[/quote]

Just strip already. I’m both a parent and former second grade teacher in fcps. Centers are not trying to woo anyone to their school. You want you kid there?  Great. Don’t want your kid there?  Great. [/quote]
