[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AAP is basically the same as Gen Ed. except the math is accelerated and they will have a few more in-depth projects (which the parents usually do for the kids anyway), so where the heck this idea that it is for kids that "learn differently" comes from is beyond me.[/quote]

Actually, AAP means very few kids who typically slow the class down due to 'not getting it' are in DCs class. It means...the teacher can teach to more than just the SOLs. It means...a lot! I think FCPS changed the name to  side-step the mainstreamed classroom, which is vastly different from my 1970s elementary school days. Demographics of FCPS are drastically different than what it once was. In order to mainstream everyone, FCPS realized that the Gen. ed was going to change because of the change in student population and created AAP (GT). IME, today's AAP is quite similar to my Gen. ed experience as a kid. The reasons so many parents are hyper over AAP is because they realize this and want their DC to have the best possible free education, and not one that has too wide of a learning gap. Have you been in a Gen. ed class lately? There are some schools where 5 out of 26 students don't speak English (in 4th grade). You don't find this in AAP.
