[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]23:24 During Parent Teacher conference I was told that the AAP teacher does not do pullouts for the high achieving children, but has provided some worksheets each kindergarten teacher will use in the classroom - which amounted to barely anything. The special ed kids did get pullouts. DC's class had 0 ESOL students so there were no pullouts for this either. In 1st grade, the AAP teacher and reading specialist started doing pullouts. Is that enough reason for you? DC is at a small school and we are aware of the pullouts in the classroom.[/quote]

Perhaps your school has enough higher performing kids that they are able to accelerate most of the class at the same level, rather than doing pull outs.

I can see that happening in some of the higher performing areas where nearly all the kids start K ready to read and doing math.  No need for pull outs if "all" the kids are smart and prepared to learn.

Does your school send many kids to AAP? If so, I can see why the school would not do pull outs.  Why start that pissing contest in kindergarten if there is no real need?[/quote]
