My kid's AAP class didn't really have reading groups or math groups of different levels.  All students were taught at the same high level.  And a number of kids were sort of left behind, especially in math.  [/quote]

Interesting. My AAP 4th grader reports at her center some kids get pull outs from the math resource teacher for extra challenge when a unit isn't hard enough. Meanwhile other kids from other AAP classes come into her class for some math group time and in other cases kids from her class go to other classes. So they have a pretty robust grouping system at our center. AFAIK the groups vary by unit.[/quote]

Yep. My LLIV class does the same.

Pullouts are better. Getting left behind is really not. [/quote]

There's a great solution for the kids who are getting left behind.  It's called dropping back to gen ed.  It's absurd to remediate or slow down for AAP kids who would be better served in gen ed.  Likewise, it's absurd to even provide on or below grade level reading groups.  All kids should be taught using above grade level standards and materials.  If they can't hack it, let them drop back to gen ed.[/quote]
