[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are you against the Center?[/quote]

I think kids should be receiving the services that they need at their base school with very rare exceptions, like specialized autism programs or programs for kids with ED. If my son had attended his Center school, he would have lost his classmates for MS and HS. The parents who do send their kids to the Center school have all commented that their kids don’t develop friendships with the kids in their class. Setting up time to play is hard, there are very few to no birthday parties, and they don’t have opportunities to hang out in the summer. I have heard more then one kid say that it was hard to find kids to hang out with.

If the kids who left our school for the Center stayed at the school, there would be about 15 kids for a LLIV class. Bring in the Advanced Math kids for Math and the LIII kids for LA and you would have a nice mix of kids who are at the level needed for the acceleration that is found in LIV.

I think the better solution is to have classes that rotate and are populated based on ability so that kids who are ahead are grouped together and kids who need more remediation are grouped together. There are kids who will be in different levels based on their ability and some kids will be in the same level for all subjects. Kids needs can be met at the local school, there shouldn’t be a need for a system like AAP. [/quote]
