[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Making every MS an AAP center dilutes the program, since principals make decisions based on class size + number of teachers alloted per school.  I predict MS AAP will, in most cases, not have enough enrollment to remain a separate curriculum, and will get lumped in with open-enrollment Honors classes to increase class size.  That's what happens at Local Level IV ES-- children are added to the AAP classes to balance class size.

On a personal note, there is NO comparison between Kilmer and Cooper.  I was so happy that my kids would go to Kilmer, now I'm told we're probably thrown back into drug-happy, "my dad makes more money than yours" Cooper environment.  And having the same classmates from elementary to high school is a non-issue-- who cares?  Can't you make new friends?[/quote]

A lot of people would prefer to keep their kids within the same pyramid, to the extent possible.

You are kidding yourself if you do not think there are also rich kids and drugs at Kilmer.  Assuming you are correct in your characterization of Cooper, however, the tone there might change with more AAP kids.  If nothing else, people would pay more attention to the students' academic efforts, and less attention to when they get into trouble.    [/quote]
