[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Maybe instead of just deeming 25% of each racial group AAP-qualified in 3rd grade, the powers that be should be working to improve those early inputs so that kids are actually capable of passing the screening tests by 2nd grade and doing the AAP level work by 3rd grade. [/quote] Yep. I don't at all agree with expanding AAP in the proposed fashion, but I think that expanding Young Scholars for K-2 would be great. If a disadvantaged kid can attend Young Scholars, get some enrichment equivalent to what higher SES peers are receiving at home, get some prep for passing the tests (since so many other kids are getting prepped by parents), and then legitimately qualify for AAP, that would be great. But, they still should have to legitimately qualify. [/quote]
