[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The resources are definitely available GE teachers in many schools.  Training, too.

You are projecting a solution based on your very limited anecdotal experience.  Many kids are not ready and it creates too much pressure and stress.  Let every child learn at their pace.  That is what GE teachers are likely trying to do.[/quote]

Np.  How many gen ed teachers do you know who use Caesar's English?  The problem is because it's not a part of the gen ed curriculum, most kids who can handle it in Gen Ed don't get access because the teacher is too busy working with the kids who "aren't ready."  That's why so many people parent refer and appeal.  Bright gen ed kids get screwed because the base gen ed curriculum is dumbed down for the kids who aren't ready.  How about if they aren't ready, they can get remedial help?  So tired of bright but not gifted kids getting the shaft because of political correctness.  [/quote]

Wouldn't the same be true of the kids in AAP in third, with regard to how they "got the shaft" k-2 when they were likely sitting hearing things for years they already knew?[/quote]

Three years is better than six.  The bright gen ed kids do it k-2 and 3-6.  If the gen ed kids had the same curriculum as AAP with those who are behind getting remediation, how would that be bad for AAP kids?  There are schools in McLean that have AAP and also use the AAP curriculum for the gen ed kids.  Why is that ok for McLean but not the rest of the county?  The notion that all kids who are not AAP should get the curriculum suited for the low performing students is ridiculous.  Why not try the McLean model and see how it works?[/quote]
