[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a third grader in AAP and our teacher said the curriculum is perfect for that cohort. There is a ton of reading and writing. I wish more spelling. The teachers think it's a bit above the level third grade gen Ed, though I'm not sure if they are having to make modifications or what to it for them. [/quote]

CoughbullshitCough  :roll:

My 3rd grader who is not in AAP is thriving with this curriculum. It's just right for her. Lots of reading, writing, word study. She brings home a huge stack of paper every week, and brought home her first workbook today. She's doing great! [/quote]

Why would I make it up? Teacher said it once at back to school night and again at the parent teacher conference. I'm glad your daughter is able to keep up but it sounds like some kids are struggling with it.  [/quote]

To add, something like 30% of kids in the county fail the language arts SOL in every spring. Of course you aren't going to be able to plop that many kids who are objectively behind into what sounds like a rigorous curriculum and expect them to suddenly be able to keep up. [/quote]

I just laugh at the people who think that only their special AAP snowflakes can handle this curriculum. Not true. [/quote]

It looks like you need to take a remedial reading comprehension class yourself. That's not what I said, and it's not what the teacher said. I'll trust my child's teacher over some internet ideologue.[/quote]

You literally said:

FFS. The teacher said the curriculum is well suited for AAP kids. The teacher said there are kids in gen Ed struggling with it as it is more in depth than the prior curriculum. Nowhere does that say that "only special AAP snowflakes" can handle it. [/quote]
