[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We moved elsewhere in Virginia but our kids did grade school in FCPS. I remember the segregation that was AAP. My kids were general ed, and man it moved at a glacial pace for them. They're bright, but I did not prep them for the CoGAT starting in preschool like other moms because shouldn't being gifted be a natural trait instead of a coached one? Anyway, having AAP set up a segregated system whereby the general ed kids got the scraps. The only way kids stand out in FCPS is by being either a troublemaker or in AAP. Otherwise, you're just in the middle and therefore, ignored and pushed along with work that's way too easy. [/quote]

What do you think is the solution?[/quote]

DP.  The solution is to have flexible groupings for ALL students, to include advanced, grade-level, and remedial - in all four core subjects.  Kids should be able to cycle into and out of the appropriate group for them for each subject.  This massive segregation and division of kids into one of two groups (AAP / GE) is absurd.  There is far too much overlap for it to be so black and white.[/quote]
