[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP is right. Parents try to escape general ed. No one wants to say why. Its just easier to pull down AAP.

It's all in the labeling. "Gen Ed" equates average, nothing special. AAP is fancy.[/quote]

PP who is a teacher. It is not the label. It is the fact that their kid gets no attention because the teacher is focused on the kids below grade level. I teach AAP. I have 22 kids who want to learn. When I taught Gen Ed, I had kids reading on a K level all the way up to an 8th grade level. [b]Now in 6th AAP, I have kids reading on a 5th grade level to 8th grade level.[/b] I can meet with all kids equally and the parents know this. I would be all for ability grouping subject by subject.

But why are kids reading at a 5th or 6th grade level in AAP?  My kid’s experience at an AAP center was that his above grade reading group still didn’t get much time with the teacher.  She was focused on the on and below grade level readers.  Why did those kids get to barge into AAP when they’re below standard.  Why are the AAP teachers catering to those kids at the expense of kids who are advanced?[/quote]
