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]
Surely advanced instruction can be provided without all of the segregation, elitism, labeling, and busing to different schools, especially when the level of instruction in AAP isn't even that advanced.  [/quote]

You would think.  As another poster said, there are plenty of Gen Ed kids who are advanced in certain subjects, but who aren't receiving advanced instruction because they're not LLIV.  Math is usually well-differentiated, at least at our school.  Advanced kids from both AAP and Gen Ed take the same math class.  But if you have a child who is extremely advanced in language arts, but not in math, that child is pretty much out of luck.  It's bizarre that they don't simply have flexible groupings.  Not all kids (including AAP) are advanced in *all* subjects.  [/quote]
