[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  This is my fear.  That my child will be completely neglected in gen ed.  [b]But she doesn’t realistically belong in full time AAP [/b]either.  Are you supplementing?[/quote]

Yes she does.
Trust me. In the current model, of your child will be high-performing in gen ed, she will get a muuuuuuuch better education and much more attention from the teacher if she is in AAP instead of remaining in the gen ed class twiddling her thumbs as the teacher focuses all his/her time on assisting students who are 2-3 grades below benchmark. 
The spectrum is very, very wide in the typical gen ed classroom, as opposed to when we were kids, OP. If your child can do the work, but it will maybe be a bit of a struggle for her, you won’t regret pushing to get her into it

Funny, this is the same complaint of parents whose kids actually need to be in AAP -- that there are underperforming students that shouldn't be in AAP slowing the whole class down.[/quote]

Yes but typically they aren’t “slowing the whole class down” by 2-3 grade levels![/quote]

This right here. If the kid got in, they should stay. Especially after this year.[/quote]
