Very much agree with this. Just make the process simple and transparent. Additionally, get rid of the complicated center AAP program and make local level 4 AAP be available at all elementary schools. This further simplifies things for parents and students because it makes it easier for kids to switch in and/or out of an aap class if the teacher observes they are not doing well or not a good fit. This all or nothing attitude, i.e you either don't get in, or you're in through the end of middle school, is quite ridiculous and introduces many superficial areas of focus for both teachers and students/parents, cutting valuable time that could be used for learning.[/quote]
But the optics of physical proximity of two classrooms one for level 4 aap and other for gen ed would be a problem, especially with equity looneys walking around with a racial lens.  They'll walk into the advanced level 4 math class and take a count of students by race, and pull out the race card when majority of students in their view are the wrong kind of minority. Right next door, would be the gen ed class filled with kids who they claim are forcefully being kept out of advanced class next door.  To reiterate the racial case, they draw parallels to decades old photos of separate water fountains placed next to each other.  [/quote]
