[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would keep AAP as it is and just add a program for the top 0.1% as measured by the WISC full scale. Then those parents would stop complaining. [/quote]

Perhaps a better solution would be to have kids qualify separately for AAP math/science and AAP language arts/social studies.  That way, kids who are gifted or quite advanced in language arts but not in math could receive AAP language arts without slowing down the AAP math for everyone else.  Likewise, kids who are gifted or advanced in math but not at AAP levels in language arts could receive AAP math and science without slowing down the AAP language arts classes.  Kids who are at very advanced or gifted levels in both would qualify for both.

It seems like one of the major problems is that kids are being admitted to AAP when they are gifted in one area and not up to AAP standards in the other.  It also seems like one of the biggest sources of sour grapes for parents of gen ed kids is having a kid receive no services when that kid realistically ought to be receiving AAP services in his or her area of strength.
