[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Teachers can't do it all, so they have to focus on the kids who need more help. Don't we want them to?[/b] I think it's awesome that FCPS has AAP and is at least trying to serve kids who are academically advanced. I wish we all had magical ninja teachers who could do everything for everyone all the time, but that's just not possible. [/quote]

Honestly, no.  Every child deserves his or her fair share of the teacher's time.  [b]It's completely absurd to imagine that high performing ES aged kids have the maturity and focus to teach themselves all day.  [/b]It's also absurd to say that it's fine not to teach the kids and not to see a full year of growth from them because they're already ahead.

Also, IME, the majority of the kids who "need more help" have no motivation or interest in learning much of anything.  Focusing on the kids who are unwilling to even try to learn at the expense of the kids who are eager to learn is complete insanity.

Did you read the post? It says that AAP is needed so that academically advanced kids get the instruction they need. What's your point? Also, what you said about high needs learners who need help is vile.
