[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]What many of us wish for, is a small, extremely selective gifted program that takes only those kids with extremely high IQs - not the run-of-the-mill good students found in abundance in FxCo.  A gifted program should be for kids who can't learn adequately in a regular classroom.  That was the original intent of GT, but AAP has strayed so far that it's now just slightly more advanced work - nothing that most kids couldn't do, including those in Gen Ed.  [/quote]

[b]There's not a day goes by that this sentiment is not posted again on these boards to same effect. [/b] Plenty of kids in AAP you likely would not regard as gifted also can't learn adequately in a Gen Ed classroom because they are too advanced or move through material too fast.  That's one reason they get placed in AAP.  It's a system that works for many.  Rather than trying to send the system backwards, work toward getting kids who can't even learn in AAP into the special ed wing of your school.  You don't need to change AAP to do that.  [/quote]

That's because there are so many parents who feel this way and who are tired of the AAP status quo.  A lot of us are beginning to wake up to what a poorly designed system AAP is.[/quote]
