[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]in our neighborhood there are separate busses for AAP center and the gen ed. school. The kids seem to get along fine.[/quote]

You do know that gen ed students attend the AAP center as well, right?  Those are the students we're talking about - they ride the same bus and attend the same school.  At our center, the gen ed students are now outnumbered by AAP.  [/quote]

I live in DC so have no dog in this fight. [b]But if the AAP enrollment is larger, how much "smarter" can those kids be? This seems like a weird program[/b]. [/quote]

And you have hit the nail on the head.  This is exactly the problem.[/quote]

Because the gen ed kids come from just one neighborhood, whereas the aap center includes kids from up to five different elementary schools.  The proper statistic would be to look at the aap kids in the center as a percentage of the students from all the feeder schools.  Of course, I completely understand the negative ramifications of one particular school, which happens to be a center school, having more aap kids than gen ed.  I agree this is a problem for that school.  But don't fault the program in its entirety when using wrong statistics.[/quote]

OP here; the school in question is not Haycock.  There are other centers which have this problem. [/quote]

Um, I am the poster you quoted, and I know nothing about Haycock.  To be specific, I was talking about Hunters Woods, if you must know.  Point aside, if the aap kids outnumber the gen ed kids, the only possible explanation is that the center draws kids from multiple elementary schools.[/quote]
