[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's great if Gen Ed works for you at your UMC school. Our experience was quite different for us in our 60% Farms Title 1 school where, as a PP pointed out, there can be so many kids 3 grades below and a few 2 grades above in one class. I didn't want that for my kids. At the Title 1 school, few parents showed up at open house. It was like night and day once we got to the AAP center in terms of parent involvement, peers and classwork.[/quote]

Wouldn't it be better to just do whatever you can to move to a different school pyramid so you don't have to put all your eggs in the AAP basket? That puts so much pressure on kids to "have" to get in to AAP in order to have a decent school experience. There are non Title 1 schools in affordable areas that don't have such stark disparities.

This is why people need to stop speaking in generalities about AAP vs Gen Ed and framing Gen Ed as some kind of nightmare place. It varies wildly depending on the school. Making sweeping statements is very unhelpful and freaks parents out unnecessarily.[/quote]
