[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do strangers care if someone else's kids are failing AAP? If the kid is okay with it and the parents are okay with it being on their record why do you care? AAP doesn't have a limited number of seats. Even if that kid in AAP fails every assignment and test, that still doesn't mean your kid will get in. The sour grapes on this forum regarding AAP is unreal.[/quote]

I care because it slows down the AAP class for everyone else.  My kid in AAP didn't get the extensions he needed, rarely got reading groups with the teacher, and was bored out of his mind because the teacher was too busy working with the kids struggling in AAP.  If the teachers actually maintained rigor in AAP, I couldn't care less if struggling kids are there.  When the teachers allow struggling AAP kids to consume the lion's share of the teacher's time, then it does affect the other kids.  The same is true later for honors and AP classes.  If the teacher maintains the proper pacing, and a lot of kids get low grades, it isn't my problem.  When the teacher slows down the class because enough kids are struggling, it is a problem for the kids who needed that faster pace.  [/quote]
