[quote=Anonymous]I think AAP could be moved back to base schools but I also think things would need to be changed at most (or at least my) base schools to accommodate.

I don't necessarily love the idea of one LLIV class.  For the kids in that class, I think that is a lot of time and years all together without changing classmates, etc.  I also don't love the idea of what would become the one "good" class etc. as compared to the others.

If I were to bring LLIV AAP back to base schools, I think I would envision something with more class / teacher switching starting in grade 3.  I think the class / teacher switching would allow for differentiation.  Of course, there would be some kids who would be in all advanced classes but you could add some new ideas / new bodies / new personalities / new people with some kids who would only join for math or reading, for example, etc.  I might start with switching for math and reading in grade 3 and 4, and maybe switching for math, reading, science, and social studies in grade 5, 6.

I really have a different worldview from the people on here who are always complaining about AAP being too watered down.  And I guess that's all there is to say about that.
