[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The general concept of pooling to create peer groups in sufficient numbers as well as more efficiently providing resources like teachers with appropriate credentials isn’t a terrible one. The devil is in the details as usual. The move to local level IV as others have said has its own set of problems and for some-to-many students will lead to reduced opportunities/rigor if centers are phased out. Just my two cents.[/quote]

I really don't think that's true if they group the kids correctly...[/quote]

There's a reason no association for gifted kids is a fan of clustering. None. It doesn't work.[/quote]

But aap doesn't equal gifted....right?[/quote]

Fair, but the gifted kids are mixed in with the rest of AAP (mom of 2 non-gifted AAP kids and 1 borderline/possibly gifted AAP kid, but no "wow she's a genius" types)[/quote]

Also in aap as overheard on the playground, kids who struggled in 1st and 2nd grade but are in and the parents "don't care what kind of supports they need because they are in and can't get kicked out" [/quote]
