[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Definitely true at our center. So many kids have been "bumped up" to AAP over the past year (due to parent appeals), that the GE classes have dwindled significantly. It's really becoming ridiculous that AAP kids now far outnumber GE in our 4th grade. Anyone who appeals can get their child in, making AAP pretty much meaningless for the kids who are at the highest end of the spectrum, and making GE very unappealing for the others. Several kids at our school have left for privates, rather than get stuck in GE where up to a third of the class are special needs. I thought GE was where the majority of kids were supposed to be educated. Something is very skewed with the current system.[/quote] Do you think that a system of AAP, honors, and GE (with the choice between honors and GE up to the individual families) would help?[/quote]
