[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no disability law that states being advanced is a disability. Therefore aap is not a law or mandate. I am starting to think the aap parents are dumb as a box of rock turds.

Gifted education is a mandated program.[/quote]

Yes and it can be given as pull-outs from the child's base school.  There is no mandate for AAP and centers.

There are economies of scale by grouping kids together.[/quote]

Do have any evidence that FCPS has saved money through this economy of scale by grouping kids together? Are you saying it would be MORE expensive to leave them at their base schools and have the AART do pull-outs with them?  [/quote]

It would be more expensive because the AART would be taking children out of class verses now where they stay all day with a classroom teacher.[/quote]

Explain how this is more expensive.

The AART has a salary, she doesn't get paid on a per kid out of class basis.  She is already taking kids out for Level II and Level III services. Are you saying Level II and Level III cost more than the AAP Program?

Kids get pulled out all the time, whether it's for enrichment or remediation.

Your economy of scale justification is a fail.

You also need to keep in mind that some of the kids in AAP (probably majority) could benefit from enrichment, but a small percentage need more than just enrichment.  They actually learn differently and greatly benefit from a different styles of teaching, so I'm not sure an AART teacher could provide this.  [/quote]

But isn't it also true that some (most?) of the kids in Gen Ed could also benefit from enrichment?  Why aren't they offered the same enrichment that the AAP kids are?  [b]All [/b]kids benefit from an enriching curriculum.[/quote]

They are in our school. There are differentiated reading and math groups in general ed for level 2 enrichment. Kids even switch classes for these. Then there is a pullout for level 3 students twice a week.[/quote]
