[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If ESOL is a drain, then why not AAP kids and language immersion kids?  They take up resources too.  But I guess that's OK?[/quote]

Exactly.  [b]I would think that they should both be on the chopping block.[/b]  ESOL is required by law.  [/quote]

Completely agree.  [/quote]

Agree. If people want "enrichment", let them pay for it. At our AAP center, there are actually more AAP kids than not. That's not a "gifted" program. Even the teachers will say so (and have). And it's divisive. You cannot imagine the things I have heard AAP parents (and 1 or 2 teachers) say when they thought my kid was in AAP but is not (by choice).

Either they tailor all of it for everyone, or none of it. That's my view.

I don't have an issue with ESOL as it's required and we actually WANT kids to speak English. [/quote]

Curious about the things you’ve heard said...[/quote]

In a parent led activity, one of the AAP teachers (whose class I was helping with as there had been no AAP parent volunteer for that class), the teacher came up to a friend and I and gushed about how much she loves teaching AAP because they are just so much more focused on learning, better students, etc.

An AAP parent recently told me that my child would be fine in the "gen ed" studies in MS because the AAP kids will bring up the school for everyone else.

Those are just two examples.[/quote]
