[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So the disadvantage to GE students is not educational, but emotional -- too hard on the self esteem? Interesting. I wonder if there are other ways to mitigate the emotional challenge without affecting the educational goals. Maybe if the local programs were made more attractive, they'd be more popular... I imagine most people don't appreciate having to ride a bus to a far off program. [/quote] One major disadvantage to the GE students in a center is that they are not given the flexibility to join advanced groups in subjects in which they excel, as they usually are in LLIV schools. At a center, the line is clearly drawn between AAP classes and GE classes. Math may be the only exception here, as GE kids do take compacted (advanced) math. If AAP were open to all, then kids who are fully capable of doing advanced work could easily take part in more advanced classes. [/quote]
