[quote=Anonymous]We are at a high SES school in Great Falls. My child had higher CoGAT and iReady scores than older sibling who was accepted to AAP before the school comparison change. Last year in 5th grade in the non-AAP class her teacher was giving spelling tests directly from the book 180 days of spelling for 1st grade. My child scored at the highest DSA level and I was told by the principal that she doesn’t need to work on spelling words and should be learning vocabulary instead. Unfortunately she had a new teacher who didn’t do any type of differentiation and said that she had to teach the “commonly misspelled words”. It was ridiculous. The non-AAP classes at higher SES schools teach the same curriculum as lower SES schools. There are still plenty of kids struggling. If your kid isn’t in AAP they aren’t getting any type of advanced curriculum just because their cohort is richer.[/quote]
