[quote=Anonymous]Well said, PP. At our school, and I think generally at FCPS, general ed gives kids a great education. AAP centers are intended to serve those children who need additional challenge and depth -- not every kid and not even every smart kid. FCPS offers Level III services for kids who are advanced in a particular area or two but who do not meet AAP eligibility. I'm not sure why parents freak out about it so much. What I really wish is that FCPS would change the AAP back to the GT program it used to be. It served a smaller percentage of the population (I think about 5%) and my guess is then not as many parents tried to push and wheedle their kid in. They understood that it was for a small segment of the population that truly needed it. IMO, gifted kids are special needs kids -- just on the other end of things.[/quote]
