The thing is, how can the base school program be as strong if it's mostly kids who didn't qualify for LIV, in order to fill up a class?  It stands to reason that the teacher will have to teach to the ability of the class.  Our school has 10 Level II/III kids for every 1 Level IV, so it's bound to be a Level II/III dominant  classroom.  And this is the best case scenario since some schools use the cluster model where all the LIV qualified kids are dispersed among the classrooms. [/quote]

For the most part, LIII and LIV kids are indistinguishable.  [/quote]

Says who? This is not my experience. [/quote]

Teacher here. Are you a teacher? Cause I can tell you if you walk into my room you won’t know who is Level 4 vs Level 3. [/quote]

This is the reason to send to the center school.[/quote]

How is this a reason? She is stating the kids are interchangeable and that there is no difference. [/quote]

Because there is a difference, which teachers know.  Some prefer to teach gen ed and some prefer AAP (and some may not have a preference) - either choice is fine but it's not accurate to say there is no difference.[/quote]

The difference between LLIV and LLIII kids can be as little as a single question on a test, or a different person preparing a packet.[/quote]

Or as great as knowing 2 digit multiplication tables v. knowing 1 digit addition.[/quote]
Pfft, that's weak sauce.

Sorry, but both of those would be closer to L0. True LIV would require explaining how the multiplication algorithm works via the distributive property.[/quote]
