[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My oldest did advanced math and LIII pull outs at the base school.  My next child did AAP at the center.  I didn't see much of a difference between anything they did academically. [b] The biggest difference is that my oldest child's classroom was a bit rougher, had more behavior issues, and had a decent number of ESOL students, whereas my AAP child didn't have any of that.  [/b]Both kids had a tremendous amount of free time and read a lot of books during the school day.  [/quote]

This is why parents push for AAP. They don't want their kids distracted by these elements in the classroom. Fairfax had so many ESOL kids dumped in the schools that parents with high performing students [b]need an outlet where that wont hinder their kid's learning experience.[/b][/quote]

[b]Or one could argue that children in a gen ed classroom are getting a slice of real life where they won't be coddled, and it's beneficial for them to be exposed to children from different socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds from their own.  That is also learning and growth[/b].[/quote]

They can get exposed during recess, music, lunch and all the social activities all the kids do together.[/quote]
