[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like this question comes up a lot. If your base school has the majority of kids at or slightly above grade level, AAP is one of those things that’s probably not necessary for most kids, except for the advanced math part. If your base school has 20+% of kids who are 2-3 grades behind, AAP is the only reason a lot of families with kids who are above average will consider staying at the school. Teachers can’t differentiate that much within a single classroom and even if they could, the kids who are behind are going to require/ receive much more attention.[/quote]

This is exactly what it is. My two kids were in local Level IV. I live in an area that is convenient for me but the school has wayyy too many poor kids that create classroom problems. If my third kid doesn't get into AAP in a few years we are going to move to the Langley pyramid. I don't enjoy maxing my housing budget but I am prepared to do it.[/quote]

Oh my god, listen to the privilege being spewed out of your mouth “too many poor kids that cause problems”. You sound awful. [/quote]

All i know to tell you is that as bad as it sounds, it's the truth. Maybe if you lived in a high-ish poverty school you would know. Kids come to school without breakfast, hell maybe haven't eaten for 24 hours for all I know. Can't sit still, can't walk in a line. One kid spend the entire school year in my son's first grade class just wandering around the back of the room yelling and throwing stuff at the teacher and other kids ALL DAY LONG FOR THE WHOLE YEAR instead of participating in class. I saw a mom drop her son to school off at the office (arrived the same time as me from a doctor's appointment at ELEVEN O'CLOCK) drunk off her ass. Slurring words, claiming they overslept cause she overdosed her son on benadryl (even that fake story almost sounds worse than being an alcoholic). I did volunteer lunch supervision and was cursed out by a poor kid who insisted he didn't need to be in his seat for lunch DURING COVID. Had to put him in his place. These kids get no discipline at home and the schools sure as hell aren't doing it. So yeah, if I want my kids to learn anything they have to be in AAP. It's sad but true[/quote]
