[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All I know is that I received an excellent education from FCPS in the 1980s, when flexible grouping was done and the GT program was tiny and extremely selective (I was not in it).

The education my own kids have been getting over the last couple of decades at FCPS bears no resemblance to the common sense approach I grew up with.  What a shame that the absurd and bloated AAP has served mainly to divide kids rather than making sure ALL kids  have an appropriate group to join for all core classes.  [/quote]

I agree with you on flexible grouping. However, I think the AAP program is important and should be expanded to all kids that can handle it. There are a lot of kids that didn't test in but would do well. Some kids just don't test well on that day or don't realize the importance of the test. Others are just hard workers. I wouldn't have sent my kids to FCPS, if there was not an AAP program. The general classroom moves so slowly, my kids would have been bored out of their minds. A lot of people would abandon public school. With kids now at a FCPS high school that focuses on equity grading with diluted academics (thanks Reid and Principal Calvert), I wish we had left for private during Covid and never looked back.
