[quote=Anonymous]The problem is not AAP. It is Gen Ed and how it is structured. Having taught both, I can tell you it is a night/day experience. Parents know this and want better for their kids so they fight tooth and nail to get into AAP. The Gen Ed program needs revamping. How we deal with ESOL and SPED needs revamping as well. I personally believe  should be self contained offerings in ES. In middle school ESOL level 1-3 have ESOL classes in all core subject areas. Kids in ES are lucky to meet for 15 mins with a teacher. The rest often falls on teacher. SPED students should be able to be in class if it is the least restrictive environment but sometimes it is not, but parents can choose to avoid self contained placement. It is really hard for a kid with severe behavior to be removed from GenEd and into a different placement or school. We have this every year at my school. S child that is so disruptive to the learning of others, but literally there is nothing that can be done. That isn’t fair to everyone else. This is what parents need to fight for. Heck, I would be happy with 1 ESOL and Sped teacger per grade for full day support! [/quote]
