No it says the AAP admissions process is a sham with a side door entrance for parents with money and resources.[/quote]

NP. I think you all are being obtuse. If the kids benefit from AAP, then why get rid of it? Maybe it should be expanded and we allow MORE students into AAP. Instead of getting rid of a wonderful resource because people with resources are interested in it. I have always thought that school should be very dynamic and allow kids to move up or down in classes based on their performance. If kids can do well in AAP, then they can stay.

I feel like this is the opposite of resource hoarding. You all seem to want schools to provide absolutely nothing. You're saying that if a few kids can never do calculus or statistics, it shouldn't be allowed for anyone.[/quote]

This would be fine if parents would accept the school telling them that their child is struggling in the AAP class and that they need to be returned to the Gen Ed class. But no one believes that parents will accept that determination by the school. Reading through the audit, many parents in the survey were focused on AAP as being the path into TJ and if you think that a parent who is thinking TJ in third grade is going to allow the school to say "Your kid cannot handle the work in AAP" you are crazy. And there is no way that the Teachers want to deal with the parents who are upset that their kid is getting a 1 or 2 in the AAP class because the parents know that their kid is gifted and obviously the Teacher is an idiot. So now the AAP class is being slowed down as the Teacher is trying to get the kids who should be in Gen Ed up to AAP standards while the kids who are ahead are bored to tears.
