[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was wondering if the pullouts in K were just for Young Scholars programs or for non Title 1 schools as well. Just seems to be another service that isn't distributed equally in Fairfax County [b]since DC's k program never had pullouts to 1st grade[/b].[/quote]

How do you know that kids weren't getting pulled out in your child's school?

Kids get pulled out all the time for various reasons: testing, resource specialists, reading specialists, aspergers, esol, aap, etc.  I imagine that the kids in the younger grades don't even think about why so and so is getting pulled out because it is so common and the teachers don't make a big deal about kids getting pulled out for any reason.

I posted earlier that my kid was pulled out starting 2nd semester in kindergarten for math, and continued in 1st grade.

In kindergarten, it was a very small group of kids.  Maybe 3 or so from the class?  We didn't receive a letter, but the teacher mentioned it in a conference.  It was very low key.  My child didn't think anything of it since so many kids get pulled out for different things.  My kid also did not come home announcing "Hey mom, I get to go with the AART because I am smart".  I found out by something he mentioned casually, which caused me to ask more questions, which caused me to ask at the conference.

In [b]second[/b], it is still a small group of kids, but a bit larger.  My kid realized about 1/3 of the way through the year that the pullout was "AAP" because another child with and older sibling in AAP told all the pull out kids that is what they were doing.

So it is entirely possible that your child's school is doing pull out.  If it your kid, she might not even be aware that is what is going on.  If your kid is not getting pulled out, then she probably doesn't have a clue that other kids are for AAP.[/quote]

Should say in first.

I am sure that by second grade all the kids will know why the pull outs are  happening, if only because their parents talk about it around them.[/quote]
