[quote=Anonymous]I agree with PP, except it is about 15% of the kids in the AAP program. As with any process that passes judgment over our children, the approach is not without controversy. The issues come down to teachers/schools view of the children compared with test scores. There are reasons to go both ways: test prep, teacher biases, etc. If you read through the forums, you can get a better idea. Don't worry about it now. Even the base (general) education in FCPS is excellent. The difference is AAP goes into more detail on subject areas, but less drill and practice. For a truly gifted child, that can be very good. For a smart child, it is helpful, but not critical. For an average child, drill and practice is a better way of learning.[/quote]
