[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]

I agree completely.  The center schools are the complete antithesis of the community school model.[/quote]

You should look into a Montessori school for your child. [/quote]
