[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry your kid didn’t get in. No, don’t lie because it’s anonymous.

No one needs to get in at any time other than the existing opportunities. If a kid in AAP is getting failing grades, they should be removed.[/quote]

OP here. You are correct that my child did not get in at 2nd grade but he is in advanced math now in 4th grade. We are not reapplying because my kid's friends are not in the AAP class (we are at a LLIV school) and why bother because he's already getting the main benefit of AAP by pushing in for math?

But people like you are just ridiculous. You don't think a child's scores can be very different in 2nd vs 5th grade? I'm confident that if you retested all the kids in 5th grade, you'd see very different scores than you did in 2nd grade.[/quote]

Some kids would score higher but the kids who need help in LIV are going to get the same scores because their parents will make sure that they do through more test prep. These are the same parents that prepped for the first round of tests and immediately asked where to go and prep for the new test this year.

Our school was a language immersion school. The parents of kids that were ahead in the non-language class were encouraged to apply for LIV services and moved to the center. Plenty of teachers see the kids who could use more and are not going to get it at their base school and talk to the parents. We know kids who moved to the center in 5th and 6th grade without any issues. [/quote]
