[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know AAP parents don’t want I hear this but it’s a washout come high school.  [b]If the kid is bright and has good home support, they will end up in the same classes. [/b]Things that made a difference-love of reading, solid extracurriculars, encouraging them to pursue their interests.  
The saddest part of all of this is that kids pick up on this whole AAP vs. not AAP in lower grades.  [/quote]

I think if you study the data - most AAP kids will do better in high school. There will be some outliers who don’t. And the reverse is true - there will be some outliers not in AAP who do just as well as the kids in AAP but it won’t be the majority. [/quote]

This input was shared by teacher fwiw. [/quote]
Again-we are not talking about below average to average gen ed kids vs. AAP kids; we are talking about kids who are bright but did not make into the level IV program vs. AAP kids. [/quote]

Gen Ed kids in level  3 verses AAP basically have four years where they don't get quite as high services. Why are you making such a big deal about this? Most schools still allow those kids now to take higher level math. It's an issue for these kids, but not a huge one. The majority of kids in general ed are not at the AAP level. Many are remedial.[/quote]

BS.  There are plenty of GE kids who barely missed getting into AAP and are no different in ability than those who did get in.  That’s why AAP needs to return to being a true GT program, as it used to be when it had a much higher cutoff score and FAR fewer kids were in it.  The current AAP curriculum needs to become the GE curriculum, with plenty of flexibility as mentioned before.  Any remedial kids - which, btw, are a tiny portion of Gen Ed - could then receive the extra help they might need.  [/quote]
