[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Keep AAP but limit it to the top 15% of each schools population. Close the Centers. That way the LIV classroom reflects the top 15% of the kids at that school. The kids who are ahead receive additional challenge. Heck, set it at 20% for each school so it reflects the number of kids in AAP now. [/quote] Why would anyone think the top 15% or 20% at each ES or MS is comparable or has similar needs? The only reason to do that is that if you think the AAP curriculum is sufficiently advantageous that such a policy will drive parents to relocate to lower-performing schools to obtain access for their kids (a form of “educational arbitrage”) and if you really believed the program were that special you’d want to make it available to every child equipped to take advantage of it.
