[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AAP Teacher here at LL4. Every AAP class regardless of center or local has the following population.

1-2 truly gifted kids. 
5-10 kids who are really strong students in all subject areas and do well in all areas but aren’t necessarily gifted. 
4-5 kids who are really smart and maybe even gifted but have poor executive functioning, don’t complete assignments and don’t work to their full potential even though the teacher sees it in them. 
2-4 kids who you are shocked they got into AAP based on class performance. 
1-4 kids who are 2E and have IEP or 504 and struggle with ADHD, Autism or LD.

This is approximate and varies by year. But LL4 and centers have them all. So everyone who thinks there kid is getting a better education at the center, this is the makeup of your child’s class that is all L4. The only difference is I also have Level 3 students who sometimes perform higher than my Level 4 kids.

And the difference between your class and the general ed classes is that we get all the bullies, ESOL, kids who are super disruptive, special ed who don't belong in a separate classroom, and everyone else, even though many of our kids are significantly smarter than those bottom 7-20 kids on your list (you know, the ones whose parents prepped them or who are BFF with the principal and/or teachers at the school)..[/quote]
And that’s why parents pursue AAP whether they are gifted or not.[/quote]
