[quote=Anonymous]The sports and music analogies don’t hold because they are not mandatory. PE and Music classes are but you are not graded on if you are the best in the class just that you meet certain benchmarks. Math, Science, Social Studies, and LA are all mandatory for kids and how they are taught matters.

What most people are saying is that we need a return to leveled classes and not the all inclusive classrooms that Gen Ed has become.

A few people are just screaming equity and Dr Reid is evil because that is all that they have, it adds nothing to the conversation but it is all that they have.

A few people are passionate about keeping the Centers because they see them as important for kids who are ahead or different because they provide a good social and academic cohort for their kid who struggled socially at the base school.

A few people are ok with the idea of giving up centers if the base schools would level the classes.

A few people probably like to troll by saying that we should get rid of AAP because it is not equitable but really don’t provide reasons other then it isn’t equitable.

Some people see that the larger issue as being what kids are exposed to at home by their parents and that the gap is less because of intelligence and more because of exposure. Not every kid who is read to and attends a good preschool is going to end up in AAP but the large gaps in learning tend to be between the economic classes based on what the parents can provide at home.
