[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was nearly desperate to get my 7yr old into Level IV because of the horrid education her sister got in 3-5th grade.  My 10 year old has gotten ZERO diffentiation in math dispite being identified as above average upon arrival in 3rd grade.  It is really sad that a child has to ask for harder work and sometimes gets it; but, NEVER gets it without asking.

It literally makes me sick that she has been left to her own devices for most of the past 3 years while her teachers spent all their time with struggling below average kids.  I'm disgusted with the repeated (empty) school promises to provide differentiation for her in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade.   I regret ever sending her to that school.  I actually believed FCPS hype about differentiation for all kids.  Had I known the truth I would have gotten help to make a stronger Level IV package for her and gotten her out of there.  I just hope her aptitude hasn't shriveled up and dried on the vine. We're hoping she recovers in middle school next year.

I literally cried with relief when my 2nd grader got selected for Level IV.

So, to answer the question about why all the hype about AAP:  Because in Title One schools there are only two levels of learning that are addressed:  average and below average. No one else matters.

Is there a reason you didn’t apply for LIV in third, fourth, and fifth grade? That path was available to you. [/quote]
