[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The classroom allows differentiation and allows students to move ahead. AAP parents above are concerned there won't be differentiation in the classroom. The consensus seems to be that AAP is mainly just an acceleration of FCPS's typical curriculum. [/quote]

There was absolutely no differentiation in DS' s K-2 classrooms.  In 2nd grade he was bringing home homework on a consistent basis that was counting by ones from one number to another.  In AAP with  accelerated math he consistently gets perfect or almost perfect scores in math, and he consistently gets 4s across the board in all subjects.  Forgive me for not being confident that the Gen Ed teachers will differentiate.  Our Gen Ed curriculum was so watered down that we would have sent DS to private if he hadn't gotten into AAP.  Do people on this board really think  there is actually effective  differentiation in the Gen Ed classroom or are they just pretending that there is in order to bolster their argument about mainstreaming AAP?  Differentiating in a classroom with kids from zero percentile to 100 is too hard of a task, especially given the range in some schools.[/quote]
