[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're going to make a suggestion, I just ask that you give at least anecdotal evidence that shows support for both general ed and AAP. Sorry if that was confusing.[/quote]

Meet the needs of the student in the program they are receiving services from in the building where it is a best fit for them.

That's a great academic goal. If you add something like "Each building should promote school unity and treat all students within it in an equitable manner" I think you have the gist of what most parents are looking for socially and academically in a school. Students shouldn't be treated the same, but resources should be disseminated fairly based on student's needs.

If this is the goal then, what are the current problems and what are the possible solutions?[/quote]
If this and other threads are any indication, some big issues aren't about whether services received are equitable but about how people feel in their school.  These are matters of emotion rather than logic and have fueled fiery debates on this board for years.  They won't be resolved by platitudes or because someone clapped their hands together and said "OK people lets get down to work and solve this thing, tell me your ideas!"  It is my belief that these are in many cases school specific issues best handled by the schools.  I can't offer much in the way of specific problems because my school (White Oaks) does not seem to be a hotspot of AAP/Gen Ed tensions.  As such, it would be difficult to recommend possible solutions to issues happening half a county away about which I have only hearsay information from this board.          [/quote]
