[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do level III kids get weekly pullouts, but there are none for level IV when in classroom, the curriculum is identical for both. Shouldn’t it be reversed where Level IV kids get additional enrichment outside of math (which some level III kids are also in)?[/quote]

I have no idea how your school deals with LLIV. Our school uses he cluster model. I have not heard of schools with LLIV having the LIII pull outs for kids in the LLIV classroom. Normally those LIII pull outs are for kids in the Gen Ed classroom. If your school still has the LIII pull outs for kids in the LLIV classroom, what is it that the LIV kids are doing? Do they sit there twiddling their thumbs or is the Teacher providing them with something to do? I would guess that the LIV kids are receiving some type of instruction of project while the LIII kids are out of the room.

I would guess that both groups are getting enrichment even if the one group is pulled from the class. But honestly, you kind of sound entitled. Like "My kid is in the higher program so they deserve more" and unable to look at the situation to realize that your child has that pull out time alone with the AAP Teacher where they are doing something without the LIII kids.

We deferred LIV placement for our son and I know that his LIII pull outs means that he misses an hour of class each week. He is expected to be able to make up that material on the fly the next day. The kids that stay in the class continue to receive instruction and the kid who were pulled out are expected to learn the material the other kids got on their own. It is not an issue for DS but some of his friends have stopped attending the LIII pull out because their parents were not happy to cover material at home that the kid missed for the pull out.
