[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The purpose of school is to teach everyone.  You don't ignore the advanced kids and spend all your time just trying to catch up the ones whose parents failed them (for whatever reasons - economically disadvantaged, uninterested, etc).  There are enough advanced kids to put them in an AAP class and give every child the best possible education they can get with the time and resources available.  It does no good to have bored kids sitting there with others who are struggling. They'll distract each other and even less learning will happen.

All these contrived pictures are just stupid. Talk to the issue, not some simplified image framed in a certain way to ignore and hide the fact that one group is hurt at the expense of another unnecessarily in the name of "equity."[/quote]

As long as AAP gets its fair share of distractions, that sounds fair. It isn't fair to go from 4 classes with each class having a 1 in 4 chance of getting the chair thrower to two advanced classes and two non-advanced ensuring the advanced kids are free from the chair thrower and the non advanced kids now have a 1 in 2 chance of having every lesson interrupted. [/quote]

If the chair thrower meets the criteria for AAP, he or she should certainly be in AAP.[/quote]

If none do, why should gen ed students have a greater chance of having to deal with a disruptive classroom? [/quote]
