[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Re:the limited number of spots
I don’t think it’s true, because my child’s center had significantly more AAP 5th graders than 4th or 6th, and they are constantly shifting teachers to different grade levels or from AAP to gen ed to accommodate the populations.

Also, why would enrollment caps make sense when you can just convert a gen ed classroom to an AAP one to handle the advanced learners?[/quote]

Because the AAP kids could be coming from feeder schools and not part of the center base population.  Then you would need two classrooms.  You just don't know where the kids will come from so you try and hold the numbers.  And the reason that AAP enrollment fluctuates in the different grades is because you can apply into the program at the different grades.  Most center schools have a different number in 4th, 5th, or 6th.  What you should be comparing is whether the 4 classrooms of 5th grade Level IV in your center school ever went to 5 classrooms and yet maintained the same number of GenEd classrooms.  If the answer is no to that question, rest assured there's a cap for each.  [/quote]
