[quote=Anonymous]As a parent of one kid in 5th grade Gen Ed (Level III AAP at a Center, which is our base school) and a 2nd grader who likely will remain in Gen Ed, I would much prefer "tracking" to the over-inflated AAP program. If you do "tracking", which is what I had growing up, kids can be placed in higher or lower levels for different subjects and it is flexible year to year. Instead, kids are selected based on ridiculous tests in first and second grade that may have nothing to do with how high achieving they are. I agree that kids that truly are Gifted would need something more, but the current AAP is mostly high-achieving (not gifted) kids, many of whom were prepped for the tests so that they could stay at the Center school that their older sibling attended but has since graduated from.
