That is good to know.

But even good teachers would find it very tough to differentiate between AAP and Gen Ed students. When you have a class made up of say 6 AAP and 20 Gen Ed students, guess what they would target?[/quote]

Why would there be only 6 though? If there are 25 per class and each class has 10 AAP students and then another 5 students who are level 2 and level 3 students, that's half the class working above grade level. They can give out projects that are open ended and teach up or at least in the middle of both of these groups with concepts. My understanding is that the science and social studies wasn't very advanced to begin with in AAP.[/quote]

My guess, based on number of parents who have shown up for orientation and on the number of parents that an email was sent to from school, leads me to believe that there are about 20 to 25 kids across the 4 sections of 2nd grade (110 students) who are found eligible for AAP. So we are roughly talking about 6 kids per section.

Also, if we go with your assumption of 10 AAP kids per section, 40 kids out of 110 seems a rather high - fully 36% of all kids being in AAP.

Guesswork, but that is how I see it.

Thanks

Did you ask them how the teaching in science and social studies would be different? What did Louise Archer say about those subjects? That's really the only difference, so I guess I'd focus on those two subjects and find out more between the two schools.[/quote]
