[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't it true that for the most part your kid socializes mostly with the kids in his/her class that particular year?[/quote]

Yes. But don't cloud this discussion with common sense ;)[/quote]

It isn't common sense or necessary. For instance, my kid at another school rotates classes and gets to meet all the children in his grade. Also, he attends SACC and meets kids of all grades in the school. He walks to school with neighbors of all grades. School doesn't have to be so segregated. There are many schools even where kids of different ages are in one classroom. Think how different the one room school house was to the concept of kids being in an AAP center in AAP or general ed and only being with kids of their same grade and academic ability. I'm not advocating that we should go back to the one room schoolhouse, but there are some positives to this mixed age/ability approach that could be incorporated better in an AAP center school.[/quote]

They do this in the center school too. In fact, my center kid mingled far more with other classes than my non center kids who only mixed classes for PE.

It sounds like your center might not be a good fit for your family and keeping your child at your base school is much more ideal based on your description of your base school.

Have you considered moving your child back to the base school so he can mingle in all of his classes and not just specials?[/quote]

Center schools ARE base schools for many of the students.  There's nowhere to go if that is your base school.  And of course, Gen Ed kids aren't even given the option of going anywhere, unlike AAP kids.  [/quote]
