[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of my children in AAP and I think Gen Ed is a horrible place to be for the bright kids. We should have AAP, Gen ed 1, Gen ed 2, Gen ed 3. Separate all the kids, not just the AAP kid, based upon scores and work. That would be fair.[/quote]

Stop for a moment and imagine the uproar when a parent realizes their child is in Gen ed. 2 or Gen ed. 3 instead of Gen ed. 1. And how would you separate the kids out of some are strong in math but weak in English or vice versa? What about those who have fine motor/writing issues but otherwise comprehend the material well. Do they get placed in Gen ed. 1 but are given accommodations for a slower work pace? Or are they placed in Gen ed. 2 so they are kept at pace with their peers for what work they actually complete?

It is what we do now for AAP kids. So, yes, group the kids by ability, it IS what is already being done for a few, so why not for all?

AAP 1, 
AAP 2
AAP 3
AAP 4

Get rid of GE and have everything AAP, and just different levels. [/quote]
