[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]20% of all kids in grades 3-8 are in AAP.

They should go to a straight IQ test, and limit it to no more than the top 1%. Return the rest to gen ed. The teachers already provide differentiated services in the classroom, and will simply continue to do so.[/quote]

Our base school just eliminated ability grouping.  My kid is not AAP but I have no confidence that he will be challenged anymore.  I just don't think the teachers can adequately differentiate in one classroom for all of the different abilities.[/quote]

We can't. With classes of up to 32 student in my building, it becomes very difficult, if not impossible to differentiate.[/quote]

Thank you for being honest!!!  I think our principal has a PC agenda.  I'm not unsympathetic that the kids in the lower groups feels stuck there (and one of my kids sometimes ends up in the lower groups) and I think the teachers need to be flexible about grouping, but to entirely eliminate ability grouping and then try to tell me that there will still be differentiation is insulting to my intelligence.[/quote]
