[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It sux, but once you get to 7th grade and can choose honors or regular, it starts to dissipate. By 9th it is over. My gen end kid did all 4 honors classes and got all As freshman year. Just pay attention to which math course your kid gets out in, around 5th grade they start to differentiate and by 6th you’re either doing algebra in 7th, 8th or 9th grade. But algebra by 8th grade gets you to calculus by 12th grade and that’s all you need for top colleges. [b] AAP should be banned or go back to the old way, where kids didn’t switch schools in 3 to 6th. The center system creates an artificial system of have and have nots. It’s stupid. [/b][/quote] Exactly this. FCPS has done a severe disservice to ALL its students by separating and labeling huge groups of kids - most of whom are more academically alike than they are different. Center schools are particularly insidious and my kids dreaded attending theirs. Thank God for high school.[/quote]
