[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Also, [b]fwiw, "kid rolling on the floor" could be in AAP[/b], that's not an indication of "smarter" or "not smarter". [/quote] PP here, this is misleading. A kid with behavioral problems is less likely to get a good teacher's GBRS/HOPE to be admitted into AAP. Is it possible, sure, but is it likely, no. What's wrong with compare AAP to travel sports first team? I thought it's a straight forward analogy. [/quote] Some teachers will give kids with behavioral problems good GBRS/HOPE to get them out of the school and into the center. Other teachers just give accurate GBRS/HOPE without an ulterior motive, and behavioral problems are not an indication of low or high IQ. [b]What's wrong with comparison of AAP to travel sports? [/b] That's not a bad analogy but then you ended by saying it's not about who is smarter. If you tell your kid that, they won't believe you.[/quote] In sports you have to earn your position every year in tryouts and coaches will cut kids they are mistaken about. For LIV, once you are in you are in no matter how wrong the committee got it. [b]Not having to do the work to stay in advanced math anymore was a huge selling point of LIV for our kid[/b] [/quote] No, troll, that's not a thing. SMH[/quote] It actually is a thing. Committee placed kids are entitled to LIV services including advanced math. Those services can only be withdrawn with parental consent no matter how poorly the kid is performing. Push in kids have to earn their spaces and their presence in the class is contingent on their being space regardless of their scores or ability [/quote] No. Doing poorly in math is no selling point for any kid - and kids in LIV are competitive, they are the last kids who happily skate. Unhappily, maybe, but not happily. [/quote] DP. The issue is that kids in advanced math or who are principal placed in the LLIV can be removed from the program, even if they're doing quite well, due to space constraints. AAP kids cannot be removed. Hypothetically speaking, say an AAP kid is struggling with the advanced math, failed the SOL the previous year, and is getting poor grades, while a gen ed advanced math kid is the top kid in the class and had a perfect SOL score. If another kid gets admitted to AAP and there's no longer room in the classroom to accommodate everyone, the gen ed, top-of-the-class kid will be the one removed and not the failing AAP kid. It's less stressful for both the parent and the kid when you know that your kid can't be kicked out of advanced math due to logistical issues or one somewhat-less-than-stellar SOL. [/quote] No, Advanced Math is an official level, as long as they do well, they continue. It's not a principal placement that is subject to space considerations.[/quote] We're at a school with LLIV. Advanced math is in the LLIV class kids push in and some kids who are not LLIV, but in class move out. If more committee placed kids were in the class, there would be less space for the non-level IV kids to push in. As it is, every seat in the class is occupied. I'd rather the school not have the option to remove my kid if they need more space for a committee placed kid [/quote]
