[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do any of you know if a student is holding back the class? I have two children in AAP, and a teacher has never mentioned that another student was holding back the class. Should I be concerned? [/quote]

It would be wildly inappropriate for a teacher to say anything of the sort - but the kids know who's behind and who isn't.[/quote]

Okay, if it's inappropriate for a teacher to say a student is struggling, how do the students know the class is being hold back? I also have a child in an AAP class, and now I have so many thoughts running through my mind.

Kids discuss their grades and how they see other kids doing all the time. I had told my son not to discuss grades, those are private and school is not a competition, and still heard his friends discussing who was in Advanced Math that didn’t belong there while they were over. I stepped in because the language some were using was not kind. After his friends left I reminded DS that he shouldn’t be discussing grades and he said that everyone else did. We discussed why we don’t talk about our grades but I know that it continues.

Kids know who is struggling and who is doing well. They know who is in enrichment, who is playing travel sports, who is doing dance, and all of that fun stuff. So yes, the kids know what kids are struggling in Advanced Math or in LIV.
