[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Disagree.  As a teacher, I saw too many kids who were not high achievers turn into high achievers.  Had these kids been labeled as "low", this would not have happened.  A good teacher can challenge kids.[/quote]
It's so simple, and no one knows who is in what level group, and teachers are trained not to disclose or emphasize the different levels so that no one feels bad.   [/quote]

And I disagree with the point that no one knows who is in what level group. My child is in second and my child knows where his/her math group stands compared to others.[/quote]

That is because it's a group within a class.  I think it'd be harder to know if the kids left the class to go to their assigned math (or language...) class.  Anyway, what difference does it make, as long as it's fluid and not labelled (low/high)?  You say that's how it is now, in a differentiated classroom system.  And that might be how it will be with a tracked system, but at least all of the costs and negative aspects of the AAP program will be out of the picture.  [/quote]
