[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AAP more aptly should be called Advanced Academic Parents. Academically oriented parents would give their children many enrichment activities outside of classroom from a very early age. Thus the kids end up with earlier reading and earlier math skills than their peers. General Ed would mean they are covering material that they have already covered.

Dont know the right solution. Maybe grade skipping is more popular and an easier option, there might be less incentive to go AAP route for these parents.[/quote]

:roll: Really?  So are parents supposed to stop reading or playing games with their kids to make sure their kids aren't too far ahead?

The best solution would be to structure a LLIV program the way some schools already are doing.  AAP kids + gen ed kids who are advanced in math take advanced math together.  AAP kids + gen ed kids who are advanced at language arts take advanced language arts together.  For science, social studies, homeroom, and all specials the classrooms would be mixed ability with a cluster of advanced kids receiving extensions.  That way, there isn't such a stark AAP vs. not AAP divide, and talented gen ed kids can be flexibly grouped in with the AAP kids for subjects of strength.  [/quote]
