[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If center school go away, low ses or even some mid ses school aap classes will probably be mixed with non aap class and maybe principal placement will go away too, it may not be good for low ses school, those few really advanced won’t have a chance. However, like others said, it will be good for high ses school as more capacity for their own school students.[/quote]

It will be bad for the former center kids at low and mid ses schools, but great for the regular kids. Teachers teach to the middle, so raising the middle helps those near the middle [/quote]

You think the current problem is teachers refusing to just "teach higher?"  And if they did that, everyone's test scores would just magically rise?  If they just present "AAP Light" material in class, their students will all absorb it and raise their test scores, and the only think preventing teachers from doing so is that there aren't any AAP kids in the classroom?

What is preventing the teachers from teaching higher, even if it's not the "Middle" of their classroom, right now? This is the most absurd comment I've read on this entire thread. [/quote]
