[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If the kids are Principal placed .Does that mean they are the same as Committee placed ? what makes the difference ?[/quote]

Committee placed are kids selected by the committee. They have the option of attending the Center school or their base school. They are guaranteed LIV placement through 8th grade.

Principal placed kids are kids who are placed in the local LIV class by the Principal. They were not selected by the committee for LIV. They are not guaranteed a seat in the LLIV class, they can be removed at any time. [b]They cannot take LIV classes in MS. [/b][/quote]

So effed up to track kids like this when they’re 6-8 years old.  Committee wasn’t impressed with you when you were 7?  Too bad, no advanced classes for you when you’re 13!

I don’t disagree with your statement, but rest assured, all kids can take all honors classes in MS, regardless of whether they were in AAP in ES.  The only real difference is that being in AAP tees you up to take Algebra I Honors in 7th instead of 8th. If that’s important to you, then you’ll need to figure out a plan by 6th grade (which, depending on the school, doesn’t require LIV - ours didn’t). 
So anyway, in summary, not being selected for AAP in ES has no bearing on eligibility to take advanced classes in middle and high schools. Thank goodness! 
In a few moments, people will rush to point out that AAP MS school classes are different than Honors. That depends on the school, cohort, etc. ultimately, there’s no substantive difference and has no impact on eligibility or preparedness for high school courses … AAP is over and moot by then.

That might work in a school like Carson. Do you think honors and AA are the same at a school like Sandburg or Key? [/quote]

Sure, I mean it's all relative to their overall school population.[/quote]
