[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is FCPS's issue with general ed though. If you want higher standards in general ed just push for them. What will happen is if the standards are decent people won't want to switch schools. Naturally people want to stay at their base school near kids within walking distance.[/quote] Just like that huh? Pray tell, how so?[/quote] At some elementary schools, all classes are taught with the AAP curriculum. There's some talk of expanding that to all elementary schools, the way some middle schools are all honors classes. So far, in those middle schools, that has been implemented by teaching all classes at an honors level and just leaving some students behind and upset, rather than by watering down the classes. [/quote] Teaching some of the AAP curriculum and moving at the pace of a regular AAP classroom are very different. My child is in AAP and his class did around 12 weeks of Caesar's English. Friend's classroom had one or two AART-led all-class sessions on the concept. School counts that as "teaching the AAP curriculum" to all, per teacher when asked. If there was an ES teaching AAP at AAP speed, everyone on this board would have already moved to the district.[/quote]
