[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're in a diverse (not title I) school and I am the child of a non LLIV in a class with LLIV kids. I will say that my child is doing MUCH better in this class than she was in a class with less advanced children. This is a boon for non-AAP kids - everyone is living up to their true potential. My child is in a class with ESOL kids, too, they're doing really well. It's great for ALL kids which is what we should all be wanting out of our school system.

NP.  I don’t have a dog in this fight, but I know the school system.  It sounds like your children attend a well run school. I’d bet you have a solid principal and little teacher turnover. The cluster model can be very beneficial for all students when implemented with the right supports. The opposite is true, too. I know of a school that is losing students  because of a poorly implemented cluster model. I’d consider yourself (or your children) lucky. [/quote]

You're quoting me. Look, we know a couple parents of LLIV kids who left the school when the principal announced the cluster model because they are super competitive and preferred the center (and one them flat out said it was because the center down the road has very few hispanic children and our school has a lot). Our school has a lot of teacher turnover and I think the principal is kind of meh, but this model is working well for my kid and from the friends I've talked to (including a couple that teach at the school), it's working well for other kids, too.[/quote]
