[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Never understood why they don't have advanced language arts for those students who are advanced in that area.  [/quote]

Because if you compare the curriculum between AAP and GenEd for anything besides math, you will see that it's really not all that different.  In the long run, AAP will result in 1-2 years ahead in the HS math course sequence.  Once 9th grade starts, AAP makes no difference, it's either Honors, AP, or IB which is open to everyone.  Not the case for every school or teacher of course, but on the whole really not that advanced outside of math.[/quote]

Which is why AAP is ridiculously unnecessary if flexible groupings would be used.  And before anyone jumps in to screech that "one teacher can't handle multiple different groups!!" - that's not what I'm talking about.  Each teacher would take one group.  Among grade level teams, which are usually made up of 5-6 teachers, that would be plenty.[/quote]

It would require their schedules to match exactly. They would all have to have LA, math, science and social studies at the same time for it to work. This could be very difficult. [/quote]
