[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The resources and money thrown at AAP centers would be better utilized improving the academics for all classrooms.  As the previous poster pointed out, they ALL end up together in high school. In the end there is no substantial difference, certainly not enough to warrant the amount spent on centers, the bussing, the testing, especially drafting a special test JUST for Fairfax County.

Truly gifted children with outstanding IQs should be given special instruction in their base school, similar to other children with special needs. Advanced Academics for such a large percentage of students is a waste.  The majority are not geniuses that NEED specialized instruction.

The fact is that so many kids in FCPS are smart enough for advanced academics, they had to change the guidelines that are used nationwide to determine eligibility.

Since so many kids are able, why not just implement the instruction across the board?  This would improve the entire school system rather than just certain parts.  The AAP curriculum is not rocket science.  It can be used in Gen Ed and I bet most kids would get along just fine.

BUT,  this will never happen because the voice of the Pro-AAP side is much louder and vocal.
