[quote=Anonymous][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 it’s 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]

You can blame Dr. Reid for the first part, if she even is a doctor. There absolutely is enough money, it’s just being wasted on other stuff like yondr pouches and bodyguards. The troublemakers shouldn’t be clumped up in general; they should be in the special needs classroom,. I do agree with you on that part. General Ed can be made more efficient and function like AAP if only those troublemakers got lost.[/quote]
