[quote=Anonymous]I've read this entire thread, and the tangent about dyslexia is just that, a tangent and distraction.

Stop trying to argue whether Einstein would or wouldn't have made AAP.  He could have made it based on math scores, but not language arts scores, but still would have been in the center.

Close the centers and funnel those resources back to schools, where we can address each child's INDIVIDUAL levels, not lump all "bright" kids in together. Not all gifted kids are gifted across the board. Kids who are reading "significantly below grade level" (which is a direct quote) can be genius level at math, but aren't placed appropriately at center for reading. 2E or not.

And as for 2E, I assume the district would make the necessary accommodations, and then test to see whether the child qualified for AAP.  The school wouldn't say :Let's put her in AAP, because we're sure she would have done better had she not also been blind."  So mixing these insults to people who point out that hey, the child isn't at grade level no matter the reason is nonsense.
