[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, for starters, the bar is much lower than it used to be.  In GT, there was a composite score that had to be reached, making it much more difficult and selective.  Nowadays, the appeal process is such that if your child does not make it into the pool (initial cut), parents can simply appeal and almost always get child into AAP.  It is no longer a program for just gifted kids, who actually make up a tiny percentage of kids admitted; however, every parent who has a child in AAP says that their child is gifted even if they've just barely made the cutoff.  The program is a ridiculous waste of time and money (testing, selection committees, center schools, busing to center schools, etc.) that benefits a very large group of FCPS kids but does nothing for the other large group of kids who remain in Gen Ed.

Are you one poster that continually posts this same complaint over and over again?  [/quote]

Are you the one poster who continually (and falsely) likes to make it appear that only one person feels this way?  There are tons of people on this forum who make excellent and valid points about AAP.  Whether you like to hear them or not.[/quote]
