Nope. Not for a teacher who knows how to keep control of their classroom. Hasn't happened yet and my kid has been in AAP for years. Sorry your kid's school isn't like this.[/quote]

DP.  I think it has less to do with the individual teachers and more to do with the principal's philosophy about how the school should run.  If the principal's goal is to minimize SOL failures and the principal doesn't care about AAP, then the AAP classes will teach to the lowest common denominator.  If the principal values having a rigorous AAP program, the AAP classes won't slow down.

There should be standards applied across all AAP centers.  Unfortunately, there aren't any.  My kid's AAP 5th and 6th grade math classes were gen ed math given one year earlier.  They didn't do any of the M^3 extensions or really anything to make the class AAP.  The only language arts extension was Wordmasters, but the homework for it was inane.  Like, they'd be asked to copy each word on their list 5 times, but doing so in different colors or by making spooky letters.  [/quote]
