[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“ AAP is unnecessary. ”

People will continue to fight for AAP so long as the alternative is largely so called “in class differentiation” which amounts to minimal teacher time for the higher groups. Allow schools to ability group by classes and people would not care so much [/quote]

Programs like AAP where there are completely different classes and schools for "advanced" kids but not for the kids who are below grade level are very, very rare in this country. Nice experiment, FCPS, but it's time to go back to what everyone else is doing far more successfully than we are. FCPS has declined significantly since moving to the AAP system. You may not see it because YOUR kid is in AAP, but the rest of us have noticed how different the education is now compared to when we were in FCPS.[/quote]

A lot of people are comparing the past FCPS to now. The largest differences is SPED and ESOL. How many newcomers were in these GenEd classes in the past? How many kids with severe behavior problems or Sped needs? We cannot compare classes from the past when the population looks drastically different [/quote]

Do you know how many SPED kids are in AAP?  A lot.[/quote]
