[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have an 8yo with a 250 MAP who's consistently tested multiple grades ahead in both math and reading. We've run into steady resistance when asking for more rigor or real differentiation. The usual playbook is familiar: delay for "more data," introduce new gating criteria (lack of explanations, social maturity, etc.), redefine "support" to avoid actual acceleration, hide behind policy, and validate concerns without changing anything. So you should expect some pushback and be ready to advocate. We're grateful for what FCPS offers in advanced academics. The issue is that AAP isn't built for edge cases. Public schools optimize for the median, not outliers that meet grade-level standards. Teachers are already stretched. I’ve come to see my role as filling the gap between what the system can reasonably provide and what my child actually needs.[/quote] I agree with all of this.[/quote]
