[quote=Anonymous]"Is the curriculum the same though? Do they read the same books in GE and AAP? Do they both do presentations and have socratic seminars? Do all the children use the William and Mary materials? I'm sincerely asking. One of my children may not get into AAP and I'm wondering how the curriculum differs and whether or not GE kids can handle the AAP curriculum at a slower pace. The OP said all children should be given the AAP curriculum. I'm wondering if they do this now at a slower pace or if it's an entirely different focus in general ed. Most of the posters here can't seem to stay on the topic. They write about how great it is for GE and AAP to be separate and how each child's needs are met, but they really aren't talking about whether or not the general ed kids can handle the AAP curriculum which is what the OP suggested.

The principal of our center school told us that every child in that school could do the AAP curriculum. It's not rocket science, it's the same information the GE classes get. The pace may be quicker, especially with math, but otherwise, it's nothing out of the ordinary."

I don't see how some base schools like ours would be able to offer AAP curriculum when 50-60% of children are not reading at grade level. If the class were to read a book and discuss it as they do in AAP, it would have to be a much lower leveled book.  [/quote]
