[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids can get in based on the virtue of their Verbal OR Math abilities.  Not all kids are "Advanced" at both subjects, yet at center they are treated like they are.

Manage the differentiation better at the school level.  Use some of the funds saved on the giant fustercluck of transportation and logistics to support actual G/T programming in schools on the appropriate subjects for each child. [/quote]

I couldn't agree with you more.  It makes no sense that most of these kids aren't "advanced" in ALL subjects, much less actually gifted (is there any other word that's been overused so much?).  [b]There is no reason the vast majority couldn't be differentiated, along with all kids, in their own base schools. [/b] I'd love to know just how many HIGHLY gifted kids there are in FCPS, who actually need a separate learning environment.  Probably a tiny, tiny fraction of those currently in AAP. [/quote]

the problem is the differentiation is a joke (LLII and LLIII) so parents of these kids push for AAP because better to not be ready for advancement in all subjects than to be advanced in some and get no advancement. [/quote]
