| Whoa. Just saw this because I am an employee. There will be a NNAT in December. I wonder how this will change the screening pool. |

The NNAT from 1st will be used unless they do not have that on file. |

| It will benefit the quant kids because there is no verbal score on the Naglieri. |

Doubt that they will just use the NNAT it is the least of the criteria for placement. I've heard from a few teachers that they are changing the system for admissions into AAP. I can see them postponing placement for 1 year. |

lol. So all the third grade AAP teachers next year who have spent time training and developing their materials for years will suddenly revert back to the normal curriculum and totally redevelop their materials for a gen ed audience? Sure, sure that's what will happen. Keep dreaming. |

Not to mention the center schools will have an empty 3rd grade classroom. I guess the third grade center teachers will just collect unemployment for a year |

| Hmm. I signed my kid up for the CogAT at GMU. I wonder if including scores will hurt my kid's application. |

They already do this year anyways. We are at a center school( mentioned a lot) and it typically have seven 3rd grade classes. This year there are five classes total. 3 General 2 AAP. And teachers have switched from AAP to General in this school from year to year. Teachers all spend years perfecting their career-it doesn't matter whether they are AAP or general. There is not that much difference in the programs especially in 3rd. 5th grade math is a combo of 5th and 6th grade where kids take the 6th grade sol and 6th grade is the big year when they take 7th grade math. |

There is not THAT big a difference between 3rd gen ed and 3rd AAP. Like in high school the difference between honors and academic isn’t that big either. These kids aren’t Little Man Tate going back to learn their colors in gen ed. |

| It always amazes me how some parents think it is the end all be all. Having had one in AAP and one not, it really is not all that you would think it was cracked up to be. I think 5 th grade was the biggest difference(some more in depth projects). Everything else was not that different. Except for math. And then in MS(at least at Longfellow) Math is the only difference. My kids were on the same team and, except for math, had the exact same assignments and projects. for Language Arts, SS and science. A few papers were due a few days ahead in AAP but that was it. Maybe because all classes at that school are honors anyways…. |
