[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here are a couple potential solutions:

Level III could be standardized at base schools (schools with neither a Center nor a LLIV) by simply having one classroom in each subject area follow the AAP curriculum.  So, if there are 5 classrooms per grade, and the kids are already ability grouped by subject, just have the top grouping be the level III program that follows the AAP curriculum in that subject.  Sure, most general education kids couldn't necessarily handle the AAP curriculum, but the Level III kids who are strong in that subject area would be more than capable.

To eliminate having general education kids in the minority at center schools, it might be better to just redraw the district maps such that some schools are AAP only.  [/quote]

OP here. Thanks for putting out some ideas. I've seen some of this done and the it works often is that the teacher teaches like they would in a combination class where there are two different levels because there isn't always an exact number of kids at the same level in the classroom. I think they could definitely be considered by base schools. I'd love to hear more on what you think this change would accomplish.

Would you be willing to also write a counter argument to this and then write why your idea is better? It might flush out some details and help us understand the change better. If this thread achieves nothing more than people starting to argue their opinion while considering others viewpoints, that would be more success than I could hope for.

Here's an article to persuade why offering a counter argument is often better than a one-sided argument.

Careful, OP, you're doing the patronizing school marm thing again.  Now you seem to be assigning homework to PP. [/quote]
