[quote=Anonymous]The thing is there is no evidence to support the claim that AAP hurts anyone, or costs anything. Every child in AAP would be getting an education in general ed. The differences in AAP are 1) the cohorts, and 2) the depth of the subject matter. The advantage of the center vs. LLIV is critical mass. In local level IV, there will typically be about 5 kids in aap for each 2nd grade class. If the school has 3 2nd grade classes, there would be 15 kids in AAP, which means 1) the AAP students will be with the same kids for 4 years, and 2) they will bring in other kids on an ad hoc basis. By having 5 or 6 schools fed into one center, you end up with 75-90+ kids, or 3 (possibly 4) classes, which means they can mix up the kids, and there is more potential for diversity. The only problem for the gen ed classes is often the AAP parents are more involved so they have more parental involvement. That benefits both the AAP and non AAP children at the centers. [/quote]
