[quote=Anonymous]kids in the middle always get screwed - that's what there is so much of a push to get them into level IV (and why the county pretends so many kids are gifted). On the low end, there is pressure to general track kids who (often through no fault of their own) act as anchors in gen ed classes because of either behavior or just an inability to move at the requisite pace. On the other end, there is pressure to pull away gifted kids an let them go at an advanced pace. If you have an above average (or even average kid), your choices are to pressure the school to get them into AAP, let them fall behind where they are capable of being because the teacher spends too much time dealing with kids who don't belong in the class, or going private. The end result is bloated AAP, disgruntled gen ed parents, and privates picking up those who can afford it

was getting long agree with this 100%

again with tracking you handle all of this in the classroom, it's fluid so kids can move in and out, problem solved.[/quote]
