[quote=Anonymous]My DC was at a center. One year, because of a bullying situation, DC was (by choice) placed in the GenEd compacted math/"advanced" science class for Q3 and Q4, but was in AAP for LA and Social Studies. So DC was in AAP math/science Q1 and Q2, but not Q3 and Q4. That was an interesting comparison for us.

[b]At this school[/b], the GenEd class was behind the AAP class in terms of coverage of class material. But the GenEd math/science teacher was superior. DC claims they learned a lot more. There was a "review" of a few sections after DC switched, and DC says new material was covered that had been missed in the AAP class. There was more "busy" type homework, but DC said the class was more in depth than the AAP class. The science portion of the class also had many labs, whereas the AAP math/science teacher did no labs at all. I suspect because the AAP teacher was lazy and had no classroom management skills, hence why my child had to change classes. The teacher could not control the classroom and did not even notice my child being mercilessly bullied.

So I do think that while the cohort matters some, the individual teacher matters more than almost anything else.
