[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AAP is about providing more opportunity for deeper/more abstract analysis for kids who can participate in that and thrive. My kid can 100% participate in that and enjoys it, but her grades are never going to be all 4's. She has friends in regular classes making all 4's who can't hold a conversation beyond the most basic shallow level of a topic. It's an obvious difference. So I'm not sure how you would reevaluate every year for AAP, but grades and SOL aren't it.[/quote]

[b]They don't really dive that much deeper than the regular class. [/b]The only difference is in math. I know parents want to believe that somehow or another the AAP curriculum is more advanced, but it really isn't. It could be, if the kids in the class could handle the regular work and the deep dives but, as several teachers in this thread have already said, they are working to keep kids on grade level because they are struggling. You might think getting 3's in AAP is fine but it really isn't. The material is not that advanced. A 3 means that your kid is slowing the class down.

It doesn't mean you kid isn't a good kid just that they are not in need of LIV services. [/quote]

This is very school dependent. [/quote]

Yes - school dependent. Our center AAP goes into more depth with just about everything.[/quote]
