[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"The complaint should be that Teachers are being required to differentiate too much because of how classes are set up and that it benefits no one. The kids who are behind are not catching up. The kids who are on grade level could use more but are not getting it. The kids who are ahead are ignored in the Gen Ed classroom. Teachers cannot teach to 6-8 different levels in the same classroom. It isn't possible. It is burning out the Teachers and it is not helping the kids."

The notion that a single teacher can teach so many different levels of kids in 1 room is what's killing our ES teachers. It's too much. [/quote]

I volunteer at school and the AAP class is so much easier than the GenEd for this reason.

Separate them out. Make it easier for the teachers and for the kids.  I’ve never been so broken hearted than to see a child not know addition in second grade because no one could spend the extra time with him to explain help him process it.

I don’t understand how people want to get rid of AAP when it’s the reason the best teachers stay at our school. Our principal is cool with not doing 6-8 levels in one class and understands the need to help teachers. They are doing enough stuff as is- making them teach 6-8 levels doesn’t work.

They maybe little robots by I have an opposite opinion. My kid was "gen ed", which fwiw and imo, means nothing as she is smoking the AAP kids in HS. But I digress. I was room parent for most of the ES years and would go in for parties and so forth. Some of them had AAP mix in with the miscreant gen ed kids who were my DC and her classmates. Those AAP kids were anxious, hyper-focused on rules and "that's not fair!", socially awkward (not all but most), and pretty annoying to be around. And it wasn't a one off but every time I had to monitor those kids crafts, games, whatever. [/quote]
