[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a difference between AAP and Honors.

The change was to eliminate Gen Ed and only offer Honors and AAP.  The theory is that the teachers will scaffold for the kids who truly need Gen Ed.  Don't know how it is in practice.  Would hate to stress out kids who aren't ready for Honors.  I think, like everything, it depends on the teacher.[/quote]

They've said they'll make exceptions for students whom they think need a less demanding course than the Honors course; presumably, one example might be ESOL students with limited English proficiency.

Knowing Longfellow, they will make sure that the classes are structured to optimize student success and test scores.  The current principal was brought in five or six years ago when Longfellow wasn't making AYP under NCLB because it had certain student groups that were not meeting the SOL benchmarks.  She turned it around in a year, and very much has a "no excuses" attitude with both teachers and students. [/quote]

I don't think this is accurate.  She has been there at least 7 years. She has a mixed record with the special ed population.  [/quote]
