[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Again. The homeroom class should be mixed and that homeroom class should go to lunch and recess together. I don't see any reason why this can't happen. Make it a scheduling priority like so many other schools do.[/quote]
Not all schools employ home rooms.  Our base school only used them for sixth graders.  [/quote]

Exactly. I think this needs to be changed to ensure kids are mixed for lunch and recess. Most schools do use a homeroom class for this reason. There's no reason I see that the other schools can't.[/quote]

Why should it change?

Adding extra homeroom to run during the hour plus that each grade has for lunch takes away from class time.

In elementary there is no real reason to have homeroom outside the assigned class.  All you need is the ten minutes or so of "morning meeting" or whatever the school calls their beginning of the day time.

[b]It should change because there have been complaints about the program for years. So much so that people are asking the school board to get rid of AAP[/b]. Instead of getting rid of the program, how about making some changes to both programs so they are more integrated and so the curriculum is improved for both? That's what this thread is about.

The person before said their 6th grade had a homeroom and those kids had lunch together. So why not 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade? Our school does it for all grades. Why can't these particular center schools? It would allow more friendships to form. And would allow the base school kids to stay better friends with the kids they met in K-2. I think it's awful a K-2 student attends a base school and then can barely ever see their friends in school because of an AAP or general ed label.

I'm not even going to respond to the person who blames where someone bought a house. Boundaries move all the time and all schools should be good enough for our students to attend at any intelligence level.[/quote]

In real life most people are not fixated on AAP. This level of drama is a dcum thing.[/quote]
