[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hmm, maybe there isn’t much differentiation needed when all of the students are more or less at the same level, in addition to having small class sizes.

In many APS elementary schools, students from all sorts of backgrounds are in classes together. There are bright kids, not-so-bright kids, kids living in poverty, kids from affluent homes, and kids that speak little to no English all in the same (overcrowded) classroom together. Of course many of them aren’t at the same reading and/or math levels.

Why is it wrong to want instruction based on the needs of each child?

It would be much better to separate classes into different levels, but nooooo... equity rules! (Even if that means limiting some students’ potential and growth. Gotta give all the teacher’s time and effort to the low performers!)[/quote]

TRANSLATION: the PPs all want to keep their precious babies away from the poors and brown people.

That is legit the reason why parents push for "gifted" in this area. AAP = bunch of racists

I had someone say this to me, though not as boldly. Leaving ES to go to MS and her son was AAP (and a strong student, by all accounts). She was going on about how nervous she was for MS but, since he was AAP, he could just stay away from the "GEN ED" kids. I think she thought my child was AAP. When I explained that DC was not AAP, she fumbled and stuttered that "well, AAP kids will bring up the academics for all the kids." [/quote]
