[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The AAP program is overlarge because FCPS gave up the GT program because there were not enough fo the "right" kids being selected for it.

The AAP program is unnecessary.  Go back to a program for the truly gifted.  [/quote]

Agreed. Totally unnecessary. The vast majority of the kids in AAP are in no way gifted. I recall hearing about a first grader that had a private tutor teaching them algebra. Apparently the kid was confused so the parents hired another tutor to help tutor what the first tutor was tutoring in...[/quote]
Many of these above average kids that are in no way gifted are children to parents trying to get away from the lower standards regular school. No homework, disruptive behavior, no reading, no advanced math. People just want their 2003 elementary education for kids back and see AAP as a good way to get there.

Agree with this.  My middle school child is a special program, but it only extends to math and English.  The other classes are with general population students.  Would I prefer all their classes to be with the advanced learning cohort? Absolutely!  Not only are there (way) less disruptive behavior, but they would be with students that are capable of doing grade level material.  At least half my child’s 7th grade science and social studies classes are incapable of even writing a paragraph, let alone grade level material.  Then there is my child who is working 2+ grade levels ahead.  But we pretty much have to home school on top of regular school to make up the difference.  I would much rather they group all classes based on ability and learning potential [/quote]This doesn’t make sense.  If your DC is 2+ years ahead of grade level, why would you home school ‘to makeup the difference’?[/quote]
I think PP is saying that gened is fairly remedial and their child is advanced, but since they dont have a cohort or other educational option available, they have to home school. Our low SES MS is similar. honors english arent even required to read a single novel. its almost strange. [/quote]
