Every kid has the opportunity to apply to be in AAP.

Really?  You cant' figure that out?  You truly believe they are getting equal opportunity?  Please explain how you see the AAP program as equal opportunity.[/quote]

you started the thread - how are they not getting an equal opportunity.?  You take the test, you get a score. Everyone gets to appeal etc.  How is it unequal?[/quote]

Not the OP, but the basis for the qualification is tracking.  The 7 and 8-year-old students who score a certain score on a test have access to a curriculum for the next 6 years other students cannot access.  This is tracking.  For the GE program, they reassess the students regularly, giving students the opportunity for more advanced curriculum as it is needed per subject.  AAP is a track that a student can only enter once a year.  If the curriculum was open enrollment like in the high schools, it would not be tracking.  With the invention of center schools, FCSP could never have AAP open enrollment - the best centers would be so over populated and the worst base schools would be empty.  This is happening on a smaller scale now with all the parent referrals and appeals.  [/quote]
