[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because I pay taxes and I think you should pay for private/private supplementation instead. I send my kids to private starting preK, never did any testing, but DH went to TJ. [/quote] I don't understand this logic. The cost of an AAP child is not different than the cost of a gen ed child. I know people are upset about busing, but that has to be a fairly insignificant cost in the school board budget. I don't think an unfair amount of your tax dollars are going to AAP. I dare say there isn't one other group of specialized instruction to which you'd apply this thought (ESOL, special ed, alternative school, etc.).[/quote] What about the amount of money that goes into having two different curriculums, to having additional classrooms and building out the centers, the time and effort that goes into testing and evaluation, etc.?[/quote]
