[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every AAP center is different.

My 3rd grade ds has had homework since the third day. A reading log that requires writing responses each night, word study assignments, and math. He has already had 2 math quizzes and two word study quizzes. They skipped all the review nonsense and dove right in.

Have you had back to school night yet? That might be a good time to find out more about curriculum and pacing. [/quote]

This is what my child has in gen. ed (with advanced math).  We are in a base school that feeds into a Springfield AAP Center.  I was told by the principal that advanced math (at base school) just means they teach the lesson once and move on.  They don't spend two or three weeks on a topic, they spend one week and then they go to the next topic.  You either get it or you don't.  So, in the beginning of 3rd grade advanced math, the topics are going to be similar to gen. ed. topics.... but advanced math will be moving on to the next topic before gen. ed. does.  That's how advanced math covers 3rd and 4th grade math in one year.  They don't skip 3rd grade math.
