Although you feel the name of the program is "trivial" many people do not. It is a tougher curriculum and to minimize that is a disservice to the students who are in the program. If the needs of the ALAP student is not being met daily within the elementary school classroom, maybe something other than 1.5 hours a week is needed? What will happen to the ALAP student in the secondary level when nothing but the insignificantly named "Honors" program is all he/she has? The WPS only offer a finite amount of AP classes for high school students, will those be adequate? I agree that what is being taught in the elementary schools is not always challenging (way too many Disney movies) and that is a shame, not just for you and your children, but for all children. Their are a lot of outstanding teachers within our system who do challenge their students, unfortunately there are others who do not, and until that changes we will continue to see mediocrity within our public schools.
