[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi OP! Definitely try to get your high-achieving child into AAP Benefits are threefold: accelerated pace of learning, advanced-grade learning, and peer-group focused on learning. The difficulty with “general education” in FCPS is all the rest of the kids are lumped in (except for the SPED kids who are tracked into appropriate and smaller classes with specialist teachers). Among the gen-ed kids there are many undiagnosed and untreated ADD / ADHD kids, especially since many are given IPads/ phones in elementary school at home. These kids soak up most of the FCPS teachers time and attention, slowing the whole class down. They also exhibit major disciplinary issues, but FCPS has moved away from allowing discipline, and prefers to try the failed “restorative justice” model. This all adds up to ineffective education in gen ed.[/quote] :roll: [/quote]
