[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] "Stuck" in GE refers to being unable to cycle into and out of advanced courses in a child's stronger subjects, as needed. [/quote]

This is a great issue to bring up with your school's principal, as your child should have access to Level II AAP at the base school between grades K-6 and Level III AAP between grades 3 - 6

I agree.

"Stuck in GE" means that you picked the wrong elementary school.

Your elementsry should be offering level III pullouts at the least, and advanced math if there are at least 20 +/- kids who can handle the load. The advanced math class at our gen ed program is very full, and it is a test in program tyat follows tue same curriculum at the center.

If your school offers these programs and your daughter is not receiving them, perhaps she just isn't ready for a more advanced curriculum.

She might catch up as she grows older, or she might find strengths in other areas than math, science, writing.

But having the attitude that everyone not in AAP is "stuck" is flat out wrong and is a huge part of the problem, and is a huge insult to your chikd's academic peers and to many talented and devoted gen ed teachers. It is rude and wrong.
