[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think a lot of the decisions are for the benefit of the teachers and not the students. Example School #1 is high FARMs, with 5 classes per grade and maybe 5 kids in each class who are bright gen ed kids capable of doing the AAP curriculum. The school certainly could group those kids together in a class and offer a quasi-LLIV classroom, but they're not going to do that. All of the teachers are going to want their fair share of the bright kids, and the school does't want to deal with the next 20 kids complaining that they aren't in the smart class. So, they instead choose to give AAP materials to no one and let those 5 kids per class sit there learning next to nothing. Example school #2 is low FARMS, has 5 classrooms per grade and maybe 20 bright gen ed kids per class capable of handling AAP materials. In this case, it's easier to provide scaffolding for the few kids who aren't ready for AAP curriculum.[/quote] Agree 100%. [/quote]
