However, when every child is in AAP, there is no more AAP.
And accelerated-pace learning? The general-education kids will not learn at the accelerated pace used in AAP, so the whole class will have to slow down to the level appropriate for the slowest learners. Acceleration will be lost, and the kids who would previously have been in AAP will be bored, and likely lose interest in learning.
Sure - E3 claims to have anticipated advanced learners needing more/faster pace. E3 says they plan for occasional “pull outs” to give advanced learned a little extra work once in a while.
Pull-outs don’t work the way a dedicated AAP class works. Advanced learners absolutely will get far less under E3.
If your school adopts E3, it will be best for your child to switch to private school.

The Private school parents who switch their kids to public school tend to be surprised that their kids are not near the top of the class in math and science. Public schools do a far better job with those subjects.

"E3 Alliance research indicates that taking more advanced math courses in high school highly correlates with students enrolling in a higher education institution, persisting in their studies, and ultimately completing a postsecondary credential"
"we believe the time is now to amplify all students across the state, scaling these tested and refined practices into state policy during the upcoming Texas 88th Legislative Session."
"Our state-level policy priorities include:
*Opt-Out Policy for high-performing students enrolling in accelerated math starting in 6th grade.
*Math All Four Years for high school students."

San Francisco's math track has been a pure disaster. Everyone admits it now. It harmed high achieving students, low achieving students, URMs, everyone.
That’s not FCPS’s E3.
Neither is the PP's post about lower income families and hoarding.
San Francisco is relevant because their goal, to increase math attainment particularly for URMs, by creating a single math track for everyone, failed everyone. It did not achieve its goal. And it didn't help URMs or any students. It's a bad idea. Irrefutably.

FCPS is running a pilot at 20 elementary schools (in 3rd and 4th grades) where they are putting advanced math kids and regular math kids in the same classroom, using a math curriculum called E3 -- Education Equals Economics. https://e3alliance.org/
Wrong.
It’s called “Engaging, Enhanced, and Extended Mathematics”.
Stop spreading lies.
It's literally right there on the website
That's something else. You found the wrong acronym
Here's E3: https://www.fcps.edu/node/44416
"Partner with the Advanced Academic Office expand the E3 Network from 10 to 20 schools. Improve intensity of support for network schools as they implement Engaging, Enhanced, and Extended Mathematics or E3. The purpose of E3 is to broaden the access for third and fourth graders to a more rigorous curriculum in elementary mathematics by raising the rigor for all students through an enhanced program of studies that layers more opportunities for depth and complexity through flexible delivery of Advanced Academic extensions."
I think it's the same program: https://e3alliance.org/wp-content/uploads/2006/07/CTX_About_Student_Guide_Jan2023.pdf
