[quote=Anonymous]Many 2E children need AAP.  Odyssey of the mind is for all children not just AAP children.  "AAP does not make a smart child"  AAP accommodates a "different" learning style which is needed for many.

The title of "AAP center program" is a misnomer as it indicates that all children who are in the program are academically advanced across all subjects.  Many parents think their children are smarter if they are in this program.  It has become a real sore spot for a lot of parents in Fairfax County because many parents with high achieving children are fully aware that many children in the AAP center program are not truly advanced in all academic areas.  Yet these center children are being afforded opportunities which are not given to the child who doesn't make the cut scores into the program or is not admitted for many reasons.  It is a problem and I believe the truly advanced programs should be available at all schools based on achievement not learning styles and the MS advanced academic center program candidates should be recommended by teachers from all schools and not automatically included upon graduation from the current AAP center program.  [b]This would increase the quality and level of academics in the GE schools and truly give all children a real chance at their highest academic achievement.[/b]
