[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCUM: AAP is segregation of rich and poor. AAP is not the path to equity so should be abolished.

Also DCUM: AAP is no different than gen ed. Your snowflake will be just fine in gen ed.

DCUM again: AAP is a refuge from disruptive kids and remedial schooling.

Which is it? [/quote]

Everyone's experiences and expectations are different, so all of them, or none of them depending on who you're talking to?  It's a have vs have-not situation.  I'd rather be in the "have" category.  My DC is in AAP, probably on the lower end of the skills (reading/writing at least) - definitely not gifted.  I'd rather DC get the teacher focus rather than being the role model in the Gen Ed courses where they're teaching remedial math and reading.

In 2nd grade, I was the sole teacher of math, as the school just had them doing hours and hours of ST-Math, and basic addition.  This year, I'm spending less time at home because they're actually learning things from the teacher, who's receptive to 3 digit multiplication in the classroom, and division problems.  Again - this is personal experiences and everyone will have their own, as education is largely dependent on 2 primary factors - teacher quality and parental influence.[/quote]
