[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is ENTIRELY dependent on the teacher.  Two of the most beneficial elements of the LIV program are 1. Segregation from the kids who are behind so that the class can focus more on the subject and not remedial topics from last year, and 2. LIV teachers are generally (not always) better, as they have more experience and have more certifications.  Clustering eliminated both of these benefits. Anything you actually hear here from anyone is anecdotal, and will be entirely dependent on the teacher's ability, and specifics of the class.  To get ANY relevant information, you'd need to ask specifics about your school, and even that is subject to change depending on a myriad of things.

Good luck in whatever you decide.  [/quote]

This is true. I really feel for LLIV teachers— a lot of them are really overwhelmed, especially in the newer programs.

You might want to ask how many of the LLIV teachers hold AAP certification (actually hold it, not “are working toward it”). Maybe not at the orientation because it would feel like a gotcha but in an email to the AART or principal. It’s a reasonable question. [/quote]
