And btw you're the one who wants a lower proportion of AA kids in AAP by making it more restrictive. [/quote]

No, you are missing the point.  The program should be treated like a special needs program.  Kids that are so advanced they aren't really able to participate in regular classrooms should be placed in an environment that helps them achieve their potential.

The rest of them should be TOGETHER.  Helping each other, learning from each other, challenging each other.  [b]The idea is to bring the bottom UP, not the top DOWN. [/quote][/b][u]

NP here:  yes, that sounds great in a perfect world...but how on earth can you have an effort to bring the bottom up without then bringing the top down OR having the top be brought even further up?  For example, if 8 kids in the class have finished 3rd and 4th grade math, are those kids supposed to sit there while the other kids are drilling multiplication or working on rounding or working on fractions?
