[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah.  The top 10% of the kids left behind in gen ed are completely indistinguishable from the bottom half in AAP.  [/quote]

Which is why FCPS  has  a level 3 program. The handle the top 10% of kids left behind in general ed. I think they do a decent job of all of this. They even allow moving of kids for math or language arts based on ability now at most schools. And our LLIV program mixed all the kids for social studies and science. Maybe AAP is not needed as a label,  but most schools in America have a higher level math and language arts program in elementary. FCPS will do a disservice to kids if they don't keep it in some fashion.[/quote]

DP.  Of course there need to be leveled groupings - but they need to be flexible so that kids can move up (or down) as needed.  There does not need to be two monolithic groups that are set in stone.  Many kids are ahead in one subject yet struggle in others.  There absolutely needs to be flexible groupings, especially in language arts and math.  That’s how most schools used to do it - including FCPS.[/quote]
