[quote=Anonymous] [quote]It seems to me like middle school in APS is more of a struggle with this than high school. I don’t actually remember why I have that impression except I have generally heard more complaints along this line about middle school. I am zoned for Wakefield and I have only ever heard good things about it from friends whose kids go there, and they are all bright, go-getter types. [/quote] +1 This may be because parents are used to pull-outs from ES, and expect that middle school is going to be the same way. Then, they assume no differentiation is going on just because they can't see it. (Do they really expect the teacher to announce to the entire class who is in the gifted group, or to loudly remind the class that students are working at different levels? This would be demoralizing to the rest of the class). Then, when students get to high school, they can sign up for APs, so that serves for gifted instruction. [/quote]
