[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All students need to be challenged but students are at all sorts of ability levels The reason why there shouldn't be AAP for all is the same reason there shouldn't be AP for all. Most kids aren't ready for the material and they drag down the ones who are if they are in the classroom period. IQ sorry not sorry [/quote] There would be huge blowback, but the way to remedy this is to have advanced math and advanced language arts at all schools starting in third grade. If there are four classes per grade, separate the classes by ability (based on SOL or iReady scores) and group them for those subjects accordingly. If a kid is consistently passing advanced and/or scoring in the top percentile, there's no way they're learning anything in a math or reading class with students who are two grade levels behind. This is why parents cram their borderline kids into AAP centers.[/quote]
