Local program is fine. [/quote]

So her child can be in a full class with only center eligible kids. [b]It will be a stronger curriculum overall[/b].[/quote]

Ummm, no. The curriculum will be exactly the same. [/quote]

No it actually won’t. The teacher won’t be able to do some of the recommended units and so forth bc the class will be more heterogenous and have a wider range of abilities. [/quote]

This is a lie. I have 3 kids who all did Clermont Level IV. It's a strong program. Even when people raved about SEES we opted for Clermont and both my older kids found Twain AAP to be easy. That is the test, do kids who went to the center vs LLIV fair better in MS. Ask the teachers, we did. The answer is "no." And we have seen it for ourselves. Also, both my kids took Algebra I in 7th along with other Clermont kids. Just like some SEES kids did not. Take that for what it's worth.  I know have a 3rd grader in Clermont IV AAP, it's fine. We opted for it over BH. BH is new, Clermont LLIV is tried and true. We decided not to mess with a good thing. [/quote]

Ok, take a chill pill. It’s not a lie. I didn’t say anything about kids faring better later in life. I simply said some of the units won’t be able to be done in a local level 4. And that is absolute truth. The class will have a wider range of abilities, so some kids wouldn’t be able to do some of the material. [/quote]

And I'm telling you that's not true. The teacher differentiates. She does the units with the level IV kids and something else with the other kids. [/quote]

Sure. You go ahead and believe the teacher is going to differentiate like that in an already advanced class. And have two different activities going on. No, I think she’s going to skip some stuff to make her life easier. [/quote]

My child is in the class and I had two older children do LLIV at this school, but yes, you know better. [/quote]

You have no clue what goes on on a daily basis in terms of instruction. You don’t know what units she chooses not to do.[/quote]

I don't know what kind of school your kid goes to but my child's work comes home every Thursday. Nice try lady! [/quote]

Seeing your child’s work come home every week doesn’t tell you what units or what parts of a unit the teacher decides not to do because of the wider ranging abilities of kids in a local level 4 class. I stand by what I said, which is teachers may not be able to use all of the techniques and curriculum offered in a local level 4 class. [/quote]

You're ignorant. OP I am not a mom at Clermont but my child is at a local LLIV. We chose not to go to the center. There are 12 LLIV kids in my 5th graders class and the rest are principal placed. It's a class of 23. This poster doesn't know what she's talking about. Go to both orientations and talk to teachers at both. Like someone said, talk to the MS see if kids in local LLIV are less prepared than kids from Center. I'd bet money that is not the case. Good luck. [/quote]
