[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When my child was in middle school AAP, they pointed out that honors classes aren’t the same as AAP classes. In their Algebra 1 Honors class, they said there were quite a few disruptive students (the 8 graders)[/quote]

There is no AAP Math in middle school. All AAP students take algebra 1 honors. [/quote]

Not true, some used to choose M7H. I have no idea what kids do now.[/quote]

Yup, the non math aap 4 kids end up in H7 with the strong math kids who didn't have access to advanced math in 6th[/quote]

The non math aap kids? What does that mean? Do you mean the kids in AAP who are not good at math and struggle with advanced math?

All kids in AAP/Level IV or what ever they are calling it now are taking Advanced Math, it is a part of AAP. Some struggle with the math because they are not strong at math or they don't enjoy math. Many kids in AAP will take M7H and not A1H because they are not ready for A1H in 7th grade. It seems like there is more of a push to get kids into A1H in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade so there might be kids who should have been in M7H that end up un A1H now, and that is a shame because it is not doing those kids any good.

This is one of the reasons that kids with strong MAP scores but not 95th percentile MAP scores are not selected for AAP. There are concerns with their ability to handle the acceleration. [/quote]
