[quote=Anonymous]There seems to be some idealizing of what goes on at AAP centers. They are not some magical wonder worlds of intellectual freedom. The program is diluted, and the curriculum is not challenging, or particularly advanced, though the math is a year ahead. The kids are extremely limited, for the most part, in what they get to do, because the teacher has to make sure to spend a lot of time on SOL stuff. What they are is basically tracking for above-average students. AAP centers should be open only to highly gifted students, who benefit by special ed programs as much as students at the other end of the spectrum do. We should concentrate more on improving the general ed. program and tracking and sorting students within it, so that everyone gets challenged. [/quote]
