[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is absolutely no need for a child who is already at a center school to go to an orientation for AAP at that center. I never understood this. They already know the school and the teachers. It just promotes the hierarchy like others have mentioned. They all talk after that. [/quote]

How do they already know the teachers?  [/quote]

I'd really like to know this, too. Teacher changes happen all the time in schools. We just received a letter from the school principal (of an AAP Center school) explaining that teachers move around in the school and in and out of the school. I am not sure how the originally quoted PP already knows the teachers at the center school.[/quote]
My kid knows several teachers in above grade levels for both AAP and Gen Ed in their center school. The teachers are all awesome and they have a way interacting in halls at lunch, outside recess, after school with all kids. Of course teachers change schools or leave all of the time but how about you think of it this way:
A prospective AAP student gets to go to their base school which is already center  to "meet" the AAP teachers for a "special" orientation([b]in second grade they already know most of the third grade teachers[/b][u]). So why don't the  Gen ED kids get to go to an orientation to "meet" their teachers on a special day? I get it if the kids will be NEW to the school but its senseless otherwise.[/quote]

There are 5 third grade teachers in our school.  My rising 3rd grader - going into AAP - knows one by name, but none know her.  [/quote]

All kids are offered a "meet the teacher" day in August.  Why isn't that good enough for AAP kids?  Why is a special orientation necessary?[/quote]

I do agree with this.  I think it should be for parents only.  Since it isn't set up like that I will bring my child.[/quote]
