[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP is correct.  AAP is not only a brain drain, taking all the best students out of the population of a school and classroom, leaving mediocre-poor lumped together behind.  It's also a parent drain.  I used to be volunteer coordinator for my child's ES, and when 3rd grade came and all the AAP kids left, so did all the volunteers.  It's time to get rid of AAP.  It's good for a handful of people, and bad for the rest of us.[/quote]

First, the kids in AAP are not the "Best students" they are students who are ahead academically for some reason.

Second, kids in Gen Ed are not Meiocre or Poor. They are learnign at a different pace for some reason. For some kids it is because they have learning issues. Some kids mature at a different pace and it takes time for them to learn the foundational material. Some kids parents didn't read to them at home so they started at a different place. That does not make them mediocre or poor students.

Most kids will end up in Honors classes in MS or HS. A large number will take AP classes, regardless of if they were in Gen Ed or AAP. Different kids learn at different paces and that is fine. Calling them "Better" or "mediocre" or "poor"[/quote]
