[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The AAP system is set up for failure because of that reason. It is school dependent..[/quote]

Sorry - AAP (Full-time (level IV) at least) isn't school dependent. It's all this lower part time, Advanced Math, unofficial added to AAP classroom actions.  Because we live in a high money, largely entitled local area, and there's still not enough money in the public school system to tailor to every need (legally required or not), students/parents will fight for and complain about every little thing.

All the quasi-accomodations seem to be what's causing the problems, but in reality its the lack of a lower level/troublemakers class to segregate the below grade level learners.  Teachers don't have sufficient resources to plan for both behind students, on grade students, and those above grade that didnt make it into AAP.  Get the children who need more hands-on help out of the classroom and it frees up the teacher to apply their focus more directly.  I came from Ohio, so not sure how FCPS used to handle this, but 20+ years ago, we lumped them all into special ed and general ed was a productive classroom again.[/quote]
