[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I heard from my second-grade DS in the non-center school that even before the admission results were out, some kids were already talking about going to the center school next year because their mom said so... The second graders are already aware of who is in Advanced Math and/or English, so there's no way to hide it. Also, I received an email from the base school and the center school about their OT in the next week, and it says to bring our child. So, if you are in the same situation as me, you have to tell your kid anyway before the OT.[/quote]

It's not advanced math in second grade. It's level II for English or Math or both. At our school it's just pull outs where the AART works on critical thinking for that subject, and mostly used to get good work samples for AAP packets.

Your kid must move in circles with a lot of families who put a lot of stock in AAP.[/quote]

Level II looks different at some schools, there are pull outs. Our school provided worksheets and a specific group for math and LA. I am assuming that the math group discussed concepts that were not being taught to the other kids and covered on their worksheets. And yes, the kids do know who is in what groups and they do know that different groups are doing different things. They might not be able to say level II but they can say the highest math group or the highest reading group or they are doing advanced math because the kids were working on different topics.

Kids are very aware of what is happening in the classroom. They have an idea about where they fall in the group levels and the like.

You have a teacher who is good at differentiating. Make sure to thank that teacher profusely at the end of the year. In either AAP or in gen ed those teachers are so, so rare and so helpful for kids.[/quote]
