[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]21:20 In the 90's when AAP was smaller, classrooms were very crowded and segregated between classrooms with all lower students, GT classrooms, and combination classes of average/independent workers across two grade levels. Is this what you want to go back to? [/quote]

I had two kids in elementary school in the 90's and this is not at all what we experienced.  The GT classes were only for kids who needed a special learning environment, and everyone else was in Gen Ed.  My children never had overcrowded classrooms, and the kids who were independent/slightly ahead were able to finish their work and move onto other projects (quietly), while the rest of the class moved at a normal speed.  It was a great system and didn't create any of the divisiveness we see today by labeling a huge group of kids "advanced" (seriously?) and all the rest average or below average.  This is a public school system.  If you want something more special or rarefied for your child, check out privates.  [/quote]
