[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In 3rd grade, all the students take the same SOLs, right?

Would be interesting to see if the AAP kids actually score better on the SOLs than the Gen Ed kids.

[b]Of course they do.[/b]  [/quote]

I know! Stevie Wonder can see that. The real question to ask is how high school kids who were in AAP centers at the elementary school perform against kids who were not in AAP when they take the same HS class. That is the data I'd like to see. [/quote]

Again, I would guess, on average the AAP student do better than the Gen Ed students- but not because they were in AAP vs Gen Ed.  AAP doesn't make them great students.  [b]AAP cherry picks students who are already successful[/b].

I would like to see a study of similar students that had Gen Ed vs AAP and see how each population does in HS and beyond.  That would tell us if the AAP education is worth the effort/segregation.  [/quote]

Regarding the bolded, above:  you do realize you're talking about 2nd graders?  It's kind of pathetic that you think the "success" of a 2nd grader is in any way indicative of their success later in school and in life.   :shock:

AAP is absolutely not worth the effort or segregation.  It creates far more problems than it could ever mitigate.[/quote]

You  are reading your own bias into my words.  I did not say that all successful or future successful students were captured by the AAP program or that children not in AAP are doomed to failure.  However, a child who is successful in early ES has a higher [i]probability[/i] of being successful later in life- regardless of if they are in Gen Ed or AAP.   It is not a guarantee if future success either.  [/quote]
