[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I disagree with PP who said (sorry, I don't know how to make it show up in blue):
Actually, at our FFX base school, it's already 40% AAP (no one even bothers going to the center anymore because the base is a better school). Yes, 2 full classes out of 5 are AAP. So I do see it as the beginning of the end of the AAP centers. Saves money, still segregates and everyone is happy.

It's no big deal for those who go to a base school that's 40% AAP, but for those kids whose base school only has 8 kids going to AAP in a grade, they currently often opt for the center school.  If centers are eliminated, those 8 kids will suffer the most, as they'll be forced back essentially into gen ed, with something like 8 AAP kids with 16 gen ed at their base.[/quote]
Well in the case of 8 AAP kids, my guess is that the principal/teachers take the 16 next closest in eligibility to AAP, right (and of those 16, some may be AAP-eligible but choose to stay in the base school)?  The AAPs are not entirely thrown in with the dregs of gened.  They cream can still rise to the top and the county can put the money saved to better use.  [/quote]
