[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The LA rising 3rd grader playdates last year only included AAP students if that gives you any idea whether there is a divide or not.[/quote]

The purpose of these playdates was to introduce kids who would not otherwise know each other.  It was not to just mingle and have playdates with all third graders.  There was not a huge amount of kids going into AAP last year from LA and because there are only 2 3rd grade AAP classes, that means that the then-rising 3rd graders (last summer), the kids who had LA as their base school would only know about 6 kids in their classes out of about 28 kids.  For the kids joining LA's AAP program from other school's in the fall of 2014, they might know just a handful of kids who may or may not be placed in his/her classroom.  For the base program, those kids would know nearly 100% of the kids in their classes.  So yes, the purpose was to make all of the kids going into AAP feel like they had some familiar faces when they walked in the first day.  Don't you think that is reasonable?  So yes, if the purpose was to simply have third grade playdates, then all third graders should be invited.  If the purpose was so that all new kids to LA would feel comfortable OR that kids going into AAP would know some kids who would be new to LA before day one, then the goal was to invite just the AAP kids.  (And FYI:  Not every single rising AAP was there.  It was maybe 20% total attended throughout the course of the summer.  It was not an exclusionary thing like you're trying to make it seem like it was.)[/quote]
