DP.  Other posters have said that "differentiation" doesn't work, that advanced math and advanced language arts aren't.  [/quote]

Grouping the top 20 math kids together for math, and the top 20 language arts kids for language arts doesn't work, but shipping those same 20 kids to a center for self-contained classrooms does?  Ridiculous.  [/quote]

Did you read this thread from the beginning?  Or do you just disbelieve other posters?[/quote]

A couple posters saying that it doesn't work doesn't hold much water, especially since they haven't managed to back their viewpoints with anything other than conjecture and anecdata.  It sounds more like a bunch of people with bright average, non-gifted kids are desperate to retain their special status and are using any excuse as to why their kids needs simply can't be met without being completely separated from the masses.

The vast majority of AAP kids return to their base schools for high school and are mixed with the formerly gen ed kids.  Amazingly, it all works fine there.[/quote]
