[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is what they are doing at Wolftrap, right?[/quote]

Yes, they are. Wolftrap has previously had a full class of AAP eligible students and then also has a large group who qualify for level 2 and 3 services to the point where more than half the school is above grade level in some subject. So most of the parents don't really care that for about 3 hours out of the week, their kids are mixed for science and social studies since at least half of any class is above grade level anyway.  There is an enrichment/remedial time where kids can get extra help if needed or do additional project. The science and social studies program allows for advancement without being so fast that all the kids can't keep up. Many parents also like that the entire grade is integrated for lunch, recess, and specials. Wolftrap is lucky that each grade can go to the cafeteria and have recess all at the same time so there is a lot of mixing. If your kid only gets along with nerdy kids, they can still do so for most of the day but they also get exposed to children who might not be as strong in academics but strong in something else and I think this is a good thing.[/quote]
