Bringing up the bottom is true if you have a critical mass of kids at higher end of the spectrum in the classroom.  I'm not a fan of
The centers.  Having said that, my advanced reader stopped liking to read in class because of the attention (not necessarily positive) he was getting from his peers.  That was a classroom admin problem that teachers had a hard time dealing with.  There is a lot going on especially at a Title I school.  Reluctantly I put that kid into an AAP center.[/quote]

Reading level is not one of the determinants for determining AAP eligibility.  My DC was well below grade level  in reading (dyslexia) and qualified for AAP.  reading is a skill and not a reliable way to determine intellectual ability.  [/quote]

Do the posters even read before they respond.  Yet another example of the OPs reason that hating some AAP parents is justified.

The GE classmates were giving the son of the first parent quoted a hard time about reading so much so her son started reading less.  She sent her son to a Center hoping to change the environment.  Things did not go perfectly.  For god sakes take a few minutes to actually digest what you are reading before ignorantly posting something in response, this will make it less likely that you give the rest of us a bad reputation and giving people a reason to post about hating us.

My point was that she might not solve her problem.  She seemed to imply that advanced reading ability woud be typical in AAP and her son would not standout.  Ther are students in AAP that have reading issues too.  [/quote]

No she didn't, you didn't read it carefully.[/quote]
