[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids in AAP should be passing advanced on the SOL. The entire reason they are in AAP is that they are academically advanced, it is in the title. If kids are not passing advanced in AAP, then their participation should be reconsidered.

Parents can parse the scores all that they want but kids in AAP are supposed to be ahead of the other kids. Passing advanced should not be a heavy lift. We deferred AAP and kid has passed advanced on every SOL without the benefit of being in a LIV classroom but parents who are on this site talking about how their kid [b][i]needs[/b][/i] the AAP cohort and pacing because they are so bored in the gen ed classroom are passing proficient on the SOL.

Your kids spent a month reviewing SOL questions and being told how to answer them correctly, the test should not have tripped them up. [/quote]+1 It speaks to how low quality the AAP program is that students in that program would not pass Advanced.  What are they achieving in Reading?  It also speaks to the low quality of students who are getting all of these extensions and can’t apply them on an SOL.  Too many tutored and over-prepped kids don’t learn how to do things on their own. [/quote]
+1.  But this isn't a new thing.  Well before Covid, my DD was rejected from AAP.  The AAP parents in the neighborhood went on about how gifted their kids are and how they just cannot function in a regular classroom.  My DD ended up earning a perfect scores on the 3rd grade SOLs at a school that didn't bother spending much time reviewing.  Meanwhile, over half of the AAP kids at the center didn't even earn pass advanced on the reading SOL, even though the center classes (including AAP) spend about a month doing SOL prep bootcamp.
