[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As the PP mentioned kids who are Princi placed are glued into level IV AAP and they even attend IOWA tests in Grade 6 and t[b]hey easily pass on to middle school AAP classes[/b]. Im really not sure what makes the difference. They even surpass the committee placed kids [/quote] The above is incorrect. There's actually usually a culture shock when 7th grade hits and the Principal Placed kids and their parents realize they're not getting into the Middle-School AAP program with their peers. This is also why elementary school AARTs recommends parents continually apply year by year for their child, because they can be removed each year for students who are committee approved or who do better on tests in gen-ed. This advance grade additions is also why the AAP consists of 20%, rather than the ~10-15% who are initially admitted.[/quote] It is kid dependent. We deferred LIV placement in ES and DS has straight A’s in 7th grade MS LIV classes. We have been following his LA grade because that is the area in ES that he always felt like he was on grade level, maybe a bit ahead, but he always scored Passed Advance on the LA SOL. He is at Carson and loving school. He appreciates that his classes are not all that easy and he has to work a bit but is not feeling a ton of pressure. I took the original post to mean that the Principal Placed kids eventually surpass the LIV for kids grade wise. I would guess that a good number of kids who have been Principal Placed in ES are accepted into LIV for MS and I would imagine those kids do just fine in the LIV classes in MS. LIV classes are not that deep or special. They are different but there are committee placed kids who struggle with the math or LA, based on their strengths, and Principal Placed kids who have no issues. I know committee placed kids who are not taking Algebra 1 in 7th grade, I know a bunch of them actually. Part of it is that their parents thought it was unnecessary and part of it was the kid passed the IAAT and SOL but just don’t like math all that much. It just isn’t that deep. [/quote]
