[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's the point of the program if all the smart kids end up taking honors/AP in high school regardless of if they were in AAP or not
[/quote]

The point of a gifted program is to get the kids to high school, to keep them engaged and not dropping out.[/quote]

Gifted kids are bored and being taught well beneath their capabilities in AAP.  The point of a true gifted program should be to nurture potential and allow exceptionally capable children the chance to learn at their level rather than wasting their time at school.  The point of AAP is to placate a bunch of overbearing parents who are convinced that their normal, bright kids are gifted.  [/quote]

Truly gifted children are not and cannot be properly served by a mass production program, at least not until their gifts are properly articulated. A true gift requires an individual, highly tailored approach. No Olympic champions came out of group lessons.

AAP is just fine for advanced academic performing children, just as the name suggests. [/quote]

That's not what gifted means.  It doesn't mean prodigy or profoundly gifted only.[/quote]
