[quote=Anonymous]But yes, I will chat with the school's AAP resource teacher. Thank you for the input. 12:12 -- I do hope your child will get the services your DC needs! Overall, the issue may be less about AAP and more about a sense that the GE curriculum is just too slow to be engaging for many children. So we latch on to these key words like "differentiated teaching", "pull-out" and "AAP", when the issue is one of a curriculum that does not work very well -- not for the fast learners, nor, apparently, for the kids who glossed over the basics and now cannot keep up a faster pace. The real solution is to spend more time in the early grades making sure the basics are covered, so that all / most children can participate in a more advanced curriculum. Right now, the kids in the middle get penalized. We finally started Singapore math this summer at home, and the difference in confidence and willingness to work is amazing. We'll see if it transfers into the classroom.[/quote]
