[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If AAP signup is completely left as a yearly choice with no entrance criteria, what percent of parents wouldn't enroll their kids?  Similar to signing up for honors classes, based on individual preference...[/quote]
Good question, when it is left for choice, only the truly interested enroll in an advanced class, like honors. And if the voluntary honors course enrollment is not racially diverse, get rid of that course?[/quote]

I'm all for this provided there is some accountability. You would need to ensure that standards aren't relaxed and when students fail to earn a C or higher for 2 consecutive quarters they are sent back to gen ed.[/quote]

We're talking about 3rd graders here.  They don't get grades, only numbers.  And in general, 2s do not mean that a child is in the wrong class - a 1 might.

Removing pre-reqs has not improved the high school experience.  Don't know why you think it would improve the elementary school experience.[/quote]
