[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It can be fairly dramatic when you go from a low/middle SES school to a high SES AAP center. Quieter and calmer classes  which generally leads to more productivity and just a better experience. The math acceleration is a thing too, and definitely worth it.

If you are in a higher SES neighborhood, it may not seem much different. [/quote]

This is the answer right here. [/quote]

Plus one, it all depends where you’re coming from. I taught at a Title I AAP Center for 10 years. The AAP classes were doing above grade level work and the Gen Ed classes were 3 to 4 years below in reading and often times doing work two grades below in math, trying to catch the kids up.[/quote]this has not been our experience at all. The GenEd and AAP classes must teach to the VA standards.  The only difference was that the AAP students were accelerated on math (to the detriment of some).  [/quote]

But can the kids actually learn the grade-level Virginia standards if they still don’t have the basics??[/quote]
Nope, and schools won't do anything if your child continuously fails the SOL. I asked for help for my child and was told to hire a tutor.[/quote]
