[quote=Anonymous]Of course AAP centers vary from school to school. It's just like how the quality of gen. ed varies from school to school. Each principal does things a bit differently. Some principals aren't very good at hiring quality teachers or retaining them. Different principals have different focus, and some don't see the point to offering extra learning experiences or activities. These are also the principals who ride the teachers hard about focusing on SOL practice. Our center is pretty mediocre. The parents are on the low-key side, for AAP center parents. I hate to break it to you, PP, but your issue with gen. ed versus center is more about parents being asses. In school, kids have always known who is the smarter and who is the slower. Whether they're tracked, separated, together in one lump, kids know. Just as you know who's the fastest runner in your class and who can't walk and chew gum. And how children act and talk about those differences depends on what kind of asses their parents are, and how the adults in the school model behavior.[/quote]
