[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How are private travel teams anything like a publicly funded school system?[/quote]

It responds to most of the "reasons" that people state as to why AAP centers are not necessary.  They make other kids feel bad, they provide a curriculum that should be provided to all, etc.  It's not an exact comparison, so let's compare it to sports at a HS with JV and Varsity.  Why shouldn't all of the kids just play on one big team and not be separated by ability?

Do you expect the special needs kids on the lower end of the spectrum to not receive accommodations geared toward their needs?  Do you tell their parents they don't really need it, to just suck it up and sit in a classroom all day using a curriculum that is clearly not matched to their educational needs.  Kids on the higher end should receive the same accommodations. [b] If they get rid of centers they need to provide something else for these kids (not all current AAP but for the ones that are highly gifted).[/b][/quote]

Very much this.[/quote]

My 2e kid tried LLIV at our base school and it did not work at all. He switched to the Center in January of 3rd grade. It's been a tremendous difference for him. (He's now in 6th grade.)[/quote]
