[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Getting back on topic - OP, this means that there will be two dumbed down AAP classes with Level II, III, IV kids in them and two "smartened up" GenEd classes with everyone else. We spoke with the principal and AART about it and are moving to Lemon Road next year. We have two in AAP and they need a challenging curriculum with their peers, not one dumbed down for kids whose parents complained they weren't in AAP. I can tell you that we are not the only ones making the switch.[/quote]

Don't be surprised if those level III kids end up being as good as the level IV kids at class work. [/quote]

Of course.  My concern is the Level II kids that will be placed with Level IV.[/quote]

Honestly, the LII kids, LIII kids, and the bottom half of the LIV kids are pretty much indistinguishable.  For the most part, LII and LIII kids will only be placed in the AAP classroom if they're above grade level in that subject and have strong test scores.  On the other hand, there are kids who were accepted into LIV AAP who are on or below grade level readers, or they're completely average in math.  It is likely that the kids most responsible for dumbing down the class will be LIV accepted kids who really shouldn't have been accepted.  [/quote]
