[quote=Anonymous][quote]Also, isn't the very essence of AAP to track students into two very large groups? AAP/GT is the original tracking program. I agree that advanced classwork should be open to any and all children who are capable of succeeding, regardless of test scores. Some kids are advanced in some subjects but not in others. I know some LLIV schools easily mix the kids depending on abilities. Unfortunately, at center schools, the student is either in full-time AAP or not offered advanced classes at all.[/quote]

Fewer than 20 percent of students are in the AAP, so I would not consider there to be two large groups, more like one large group and one smaller group. One of my children was in the gen ed program but was a high achiever and the teachers always offered a lot of differentiation. She was in an advanced math group and her language arts group was always reading works that we're more advanced than the rest of the class. This was done in all the classes in my child's school so that the kids were getting instruction appropriate for what they needed.
