[quote=Anonymous]We are currently in Falls Church City (3 kids - in 3 schools in FCC). They have always done well and their learning is differentiated by where they are in a given year in a given topic. (Honors english, but regular math; extra help in some areas, and accelerated learning in others, and it has varied grade by grade). We are moving into Fairfax County and I have been horrified by the AAP program. Why brand children? Why separate them from others in such an elitist way? I have no idea whether my kids would get into the AAP program, but I worry that, if they don't, they would view themselves as "not smart" or, if they do, they would view themselves as "smarter than others" - both of which would bother me. Does anyone feel similarly? Or, am I wrong about the reality of the social implications and self-esteem of the AARP program? [/quote]
