[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Received word of a meeting coming up highlighting some proposed changes to "class placement" for next year.  Some of the bulleted items include:

1. Additional classroom for student receiving Level IV services (i.e. a 2nd AAP classroom)
2. Teachers 3-6th provide Level IV curriculum to ALL (yes, it was capitalized)
3. Specific differentiation to groups

the Why? Access and Opportunity to ALL students (again, capitalized)

Our school is local level IV and our child is already in AAP, so it shouldn't affect us.  Just wondering if there are other ES's going the same route.  I have heard from some parents that there are a multitude of kids designated as "Level III" but the AAP can't accommodate them all (the AART teacher has taken on the load), so maybe that's what's driving it?[/quote]

It would be really great if they piloted an AAP for all where all kids were put into the highest AAP level in order to raise everyone up.[/quote]
This would be fine if parents and school districts were willing to accept poor grades being assigned to poor performers. The reason people work to put their child in AAP is because the concerted efforts to make sure everyone passes and gets good grades has reduced the curriculums to a remedial crawl.

AAP is just normal education from 25 years ago plus advanced math. And parents who really care about their kids education put forth effort to ensure they get that education. Obviously many parents are happy with gened and those kids will turn out fine, but AAP is really a reflection of parents who just care more about kids learning as much as their kids can reasonably handle vs sitting and waiting. And thats not to be taken as an insult, just an opinion. [/quote]

I have one kid and AAP and one kid not in AAP and it is NO reflection of how much I care about them or their education.  You implying so is offensive, just my opinion. [/quote]
