[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 5th grader isn't in AAP and doesn't get pulled out for L3. She's straight up general ed doing 5th-grade level work. And she's doing well, getting 3s and 4s and bringing home As on her tests. But she and the other kids like her in her class are the "dummies," she says. Because they're 5th graders doing grade-level work. The culture of AAP is really just messing with kids, IMHO.[/quote] There will always be smarter kids. And they should be recognized and challenged appropriately. Teachers and parents need to do a better job communicating this reality rather trying to hide it, especially at that age where kids are more self aware.[/quote] DP. Sure. That's why there is a need to end AAP and reimplement with flexible groupings so that kids who are advanced, on grade level, and below grade level can each get the challenge they need - and move within groups as needed.[/quote]
