[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I disagree with your proposal but not in the way you might think. I think it would be best to restrict admission into AAP to a much narrower range of kids--say, fewer than the top 5% and then raise the expectations dramatically in both AAP and Gen Ed. At that point kids who are really struggling in Gen Ed should be provided with additional interventions to help them keep up. Class sizes should be inversely proportional to the "level"--say, 40 to 50 kids in AAP, 25-30 in Gen Ed, and no more than fifteen or lower as necessary for kids requiring remedial help. Of course none of this will ever happen, but I think it's worth a shot :-) --mom of AAP, Gen Ed and SE kids.[/quote] No elementary student should be in a class of 40-50 students. Period.[/quote] What, you don't think 8 year olds in Fairfax County can handle the same number of classmates as seen in a college classroom?[/quote]
