[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll bite. We are at a fairly well regarded center elementary school. [b]Even then, I estimate about 1/4 of gen ed cant read or do math (by that I mean failed the SOL and you have to miss a lot to fail...).[/b] My kid would be completely ignored in those classrooms. There's no honors in elementary. I agree there is less need for the program in middle school due since honors classes are available then. [/quote]

How would you even know this?[/quote]

Simple. Last year there were 2 gen ed classes and 2 aap classes in my child's grade. 12.xx% of the grade failed the SOL per recently released statistics. [b]Made the assumption few to none of aap failed.[/b] 12% of 50% is 24%, or 1/4. [/quote]

LOL, this is a poor assumption to make. You would be surprised at how many children in AAP are getting outside tutoring in math because they fail or are close to failing their SOLs once they start doing a grade up. Almost all of them in our school (yes, moms talk).[/quote]

3rd grade advanced math was not accelerated last year. [/quote]

Yes, sweetie, that's why I said "once they start doing a grade up". It's shocking your child is in AAP when you can't read.[/quote]

It's not a grade up in 4th this year either. Try to keep up.[/quote]
