[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's no mechanism to insist they still get advanced instruction other than placement with a certain class and teacher.[/quote] There's currently no mechanism to insist that advanced gen ed kids get advanced instruction in their areas of strength. A gen ed kid might be significantly stronger in math than the AAP kids in the grade, but if there are no seats available in the AAP math, that really advanced gen ed kid is out of luck. Or if the child attends a base school that doesn't offer advanced math, that child is also out of luck. Why is it so important to ensure that one group of kids must have access to all advanced classes all of the time, yet virtually identical kids aren't guaranteed anything?[/quote] Agreed, however that is the fear that some people have with AAP going away. The focus will be on minimizing the achievement gap with no guarantee for any advanced instruction.[/quote]
