[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know of one LLIV program where the 12 or so identified kids are purposefully split evenly across the four classes. The principal says this counts as a “cluster” (of three!) in each class. The principal is anti-AAP in principle and doesn’t think it’s fair to give one teacher “all the smart kids.”

(What SHOULD be happening is the 12 identified kids stay together and the class is rounded out with Level 3/Advanced math kids. All the teachers have a slightly less insane range of levels to teach to this way.)

Supposedly these kids are getting full time AAP. They are not. [b]Is this actually a legit cluster model or way of implementing LLIV?[/b] Nope. But nobody’s stepping in, either.

I’ve heard several horror stories from teachers at new LLIV schools. Some of these principals did NOT want L4 at their schools and they have no problem essentially sabotaging it— in their eyes, that’s what’s best for everyone. Right now, when that happens at least the parents have the option of a center.

From everything I've read, this is in fact what FCPS intends by "cluster model". [/quote]
