[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Base school level IV is not the same quality as a center school [/quote]

Please stop saying this. It is the same curriculum. Some centers don’t have certified AAP teachers and some base schools do. Some base schools out perform the center schools. Ask me how I know - I am a teacher at a LL4 that was shocked at some data I saw with VGA regarding centers vs base schools.  It all comes down to the teacher. [/quote]
This.  I'll also acknowledge that my child had some shockingly terrible teachers at the AAP center.  Some teachers choose to get AAP certified because they expect the AAP classes to be easy and not because they're particularly interested in helping very advanced kids maximize their potential.

+1 to this. Bad teachers are bad teachers, and while we are in General Ed at a Center school, we know for a fact that the principal has switched bad teachers (the ones who can't manage their classrooms, have a hard time differentiating between kids at different levels, etc.) to AAP classrooms because they are supposedly easier. It just means that the easy kids get the bad teacher and aren't getting the advanced instruction they should be getting.[/quote]
