[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very interesting that kids in advanced Math and AAP Math can choose the same classes in middle school but there are AAP only tracks for  English, History and Science. 
Most kids good at Math will also be good at Science, but may not be that interested in English/History. I wish the Science courses get treated similarly to Math.[/quote]

This is honestly how they should do it in elementary schools. Kids who are good at math should get advanced math. Kids who are great readers/analytic thinkers should get advanced English/Social Studies. Everyone should get the same science, no advancements necessary in elementary school science. [/quote]

at our elementary there was flexible grouping for I think through 4th grade maybe where every unit the kids would take a pretest and then get advanced or regular math just for that unit. I think when they started switching classes more in 5th or 6th grade they were either in advanced or not the whole year. I do wish there was the same tracks for english or social studies units.[/quote]
