[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh, we just moved here and my kid will be entering rocky run next year in gen Ed. She does struggle a little in school, needs extra help and even has an IEP because of her adhd. But she isn’t stupid. She is just average albeit creative. We moved here for the schools, is she just going to get a crap education in general Ed? [/quote]

Then she’ll probably be fine in gen Ed because it’s appropriate for her. The pushback you see here from level 4 parents is because their kids are not struggling in gen Ed, are one or more grade levels ahead of your daughter and will be bored AF in elementary school if they don’t have a full time accelerated program. I know this makes people who are on the cusp upset if they don’t get in, but if your child is really unchallenged in gen Ed, you can get them into to level 4 on appeal.  Most people I know personally who complain about the existence of AAP have kids who are not doing that well in gen ed—their kids would drown in level 4. I’m not sure what it is they want, except to slow everyone else down.
