[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In lower SES schools, getting your kid in the AAP class gets them in a segregated class with mostly white and asian children that are high performing. There are typically fewer disruptive children in that class. Oh, and advanced math. That's pretty much the only curriculum difference.[/quote]

Yup. Social and economic segregation is the goal of AAP.

Freely admitting that this was a driving factor for me. Poor kids (generally) have bad habits (not their faults) that I didn't want my daughter picking up on. Can't really relate to the race part because I know lots of high performing white, hispanic, asian, black, middle eastern people and I know low performing members of those groups too. If anything interactions with the poor whites (in this area often liberal not conservative) were the biggest fear. Lazy attitudes and expectations of handouts and student loan forgiveness. Yes, AAP segregates, and that's the point.[/quote]

Wow.

Hey, at least they are honest. [/quote]
