[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] What others are proposing will not increase the number of kids getting an exceptional education but will just change the racial/economic mix.[/quote] Sure, but it will also increase the legitimately bright minority/poor kids who are getting in vs. the slightly above average privileged kids who worm their way in. Or better yet, let them all in, increase the rigor in AAP, and let people sink or swim on their own merits. Then, remove the kids who can't handle the program. In my kids' school, AAP has been so watered down and the bottom kids are so coddled by the teachers that no one ever returns to gen ed. If they stopped teaching to the bottom, I wouldn't care who or how many kids they let into AAP. That being said, AAP is hardly an exceptional education. It's no different than gen ed in many other part of the country. [/quote]
