[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would either of you move your child back to the Gen Ed classroom if they were getting 2's in AAP? I am guessing the answer is no. You would complain that the Teacher  is not doing their job and not admit that they know that their kid does not belong in LIV.

The unfortunate reality is that once you are committee selected into LIV you cannot be removed from LIV. The Teachers are not going to be allowed to say "It's LIV, the kids who can't hack it are getting 2's." The Parents would throw a fit and the Principal is going to tell the Teachers that it is their responsibility to work with those kids. The only way to do so is to slow down LIV so that the kids who don't belong there are able to keep up. [/quote]

It depends.  I would not fault the teacher.  I would work with my child to keep them up to the current pace.  For example, our school does not give homework in 3rd grade; I would supplement at home to ensure their ability to keep up.  I would rely and lean on the teacher to help guide me in the best methods of helping at home other than generic "read for 30 mins" or "do ST Math".  I might even throw money at the problem with tutoring.  If it's truly not a match and affecting my child's self-esteem or social interactions, I would consider moving from the center back to the LLIV program, and then back to Gen-ed if necessary.  More than anything, I want my child to succeed in their endeavors and feel confident; I'm not just focused on status as an AAP student/parent.  However, I have more faith in the IV teachers and their ability to teach and intervene, so I find this unlikely.[/quote]

Sorry - Same poster as above...  I meant to add - This is entirely the exact scenario that the Original Poster brought up...  Why does an AAP student need enrichment to keep up on class-level.  Again - this is hypothetical; I'm not in that scenario, but I could envision myself doing so.[/quote]This is a normal side effect of an imperfect selection process. If not a single child struggled at all, that would mean the AAP class would be going far too slowly.[/quote]
