[quote=Anonymous]You think there are tons of kids in general ed not in level 2 or level 3 classes who could rise to the challenge? What basis do you have for this opinion? First off, all children are already able to access math a grade above for all grades, so level 2 services are available to all who qualify regardless of any AAP level 2,3, or 4 status. Speak to your school board and administration if this is an issue at your school. Also, at most schools, there is differentiation in language arts with reading groups and writing assignments in general ed. If your child isn't in the top general ed group which should be close if not exactly like the level 4 program there is probably a reason. Many schools are implanting level 4 social studies and science programs for all already so general ed children have access to this. The real problem with science and social studies is that the instruction is too short, not the level of teaching. So in conclusion, if your child isn't receiving advanced instruction it is either because of the child's abilities or your specific school, not any policy within FCPS as a whole.[/quote]
