[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not add AAP to all elementary schools too?  The Board said kids reach different levels of learning throughout their lives and should have opportunities available to them so then shouldn’t you have AAP at all elementary schools by that logic?  Especially considering they spend 7 years in elementary versus just 2 in middle?  Why isn’t bussing an issue at the elementary level too, why only at the middle school level?[/quote]

They're trying this with LLIV but at least at our elem, they just don't have the #s to support this. We asked at our info session for the base school if for LLIV the rest of the LIV class would be filled out with level 3 kids and then they all just get the LIV curriculum (since most of those kids would probably be fine with it) and they just gave us this dumb look and said "even if we did that we still wouldn't have enough to fill a whole class."

Basically, there's no getting around the fact that in some places you're going to have to put kids in that class that can't handle the deeper content. And from my optic, I really don't care who is in the class, as long as the rigor isn't compromised. But that also means the kids at the bottom aren't getting what they need, which isn't fair to them really.[/quote]
