[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They only asked people in the program what they think of the program.  They are not the people who usually don't like it.  It's the general education students who are denied additional services (advanced services for them is usually pull-outs once a month), because all the resources are put towards the Center AAP students.  They didn't ask the general education students in the AAP Center schools how they feel about the program.  I think they would've seen a different response.  [/quote]

And they also did not ask the people who have opted out of the program for various reasons - not necessarily related to the AAP designation itself. [b]If they only spoke to LLIV and Center students, what about the delivery of Level III and below at non-center and non LLIV schools - or did I miss that in the report?[/b] Clearly they didn't come to our school, or several others where the Level III students only see their AAP teacher once every two weeks, and only for 45 minutes or so. And we DO have Level IV eligible kids at our school that are NOT getting sufficient services, but for various reasons have decided to stay at their base school instead of getting bussed to a center.

They used four schools -- one Local Level IV elementary school, one Center elementary school, and two middle schools -- and spoke to Levels II, III and IV.
