[quote=Anonymous]AAP parent here and a proponent of the program. Just want to set that context since there are a handful of rabid anti-AAP posters (and especially anti-center posters) hanging out here. Kids change. Their interests change. Their focus and what they put the work in changes. If most girls quit their sport by 13 then why would we not expect that plenty of kids also change their academic interests around that time too? And AAP takes 20% of FCPS. It does make sense that those 20% will not all want to be on the highest possible math track, which is probably the subject in FCPS with the most possible tracks. That said, if my kid were an A/A-/B+ student in an honors class I would expect them to stay there and put in the work. But I would look at extenuating circumstances (Is the kid aiming for a high level orchestra? Playing big roles in the school play? On a demanding sports team?) as well.[/quote]
