[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wondered about this when my kid was going through the program. Annual reevaluation for all kids would be a waste of time and overkill, but kids who are consistently failing the SOLs and unable to keep up with the work should be kicked out. On the flip side, passing advanced on both SOLs and getting 4s across the board should be a guaranteed in. There are very few kids who pass advanced on both reading and math who couldn't handle the pace and curriculum of AAP.[/quote]

On the one hand it's bad for kid's self esteem if they are removed. On the other hand, nobody cares about the self esteem of kids who don't get in [/quote]

I doubt self esteem is the main reason that they don't kick kids out of AAP.  Wouldn't it be horrible for a kid's self esteem to struggle in AAP, feel like they don't understand the material, and feel like the other kids are annoyed with them for holding back the rest of the class?

I bet they just don't want to have to deal with angry parents.  It's easier for the school to leave the kid in AAP.[/quote]
