Level 2 and 3 are complete jokes.  It's what - one hour of pullouts/week?  Let's not pretend otherwise.[/quote]

DP. That's what I got as a kid in the 80s though (that's all there was).  My parents would have never dared to complain that I was bored in school.  I read, helped the teacher grade work and helped other students and I liked it! Lol. [/quote]

Everything was different then, though.  When they siphon more and more bright but mainstream kids out of the regular classroom and into AAP, it weakens the regular classroom and leads to lower instructional levels in both gen ed and AAP.  One of the reasons so many schools are eliminating gen ed advanced math is that after they've sent 20% of their kids off to the AAP center, there aren't enough advanced kids remaining to fill out an advanced math class.  It's not surprising that advanced gen ed kids would be more bored now vs. in the 80s, since the level of instruction in gen ed in the 80s was so much higher than it is now.  [/quote]
