[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why aren't all children getting an equal opportunity for advanced elementary education? 
Has this been forgotten; "Equal opportunity education for all students"!! 
It still isn't equal in 2014! [/quote]

Some kids are stupider.[/quote]

Yes, but even the stupidest kids (your phrasing, not mine!) deserve [i]and receive[/i] an equal opportunity for advanced elementary education. So FCPS is complying with its requirements! As has already been said on this thread, "equal opportunity" does not mean "equal, period."[/quote]

They deserve and should receive whatever level of education they're capable of.  Not everybody is capable of being advanced.  All kids are tested; they have an equal opportunity to get into AAP.  Some kids simply aren't bright enough to handle a program like AAP.[/quote]

There are kids who are too advanced for gen ed, as it is now, and are deemed not eligible for AAP.  Those kids aren't being properly served.  Something needs to be done to fix this, otherwise you'll have even more crazed parents doing everything possible to get into AAP and even more angry parents of these kids who fall into that gap arguing how unfair and unequal AAP is.  I think the whole tracking is bad mentality is what created this divide.  Not sure how you get around that.[/quote]

Yeah, I could see that.  I think the local level III etc was supposed to address that, but it doesn't appear that that is the case.[/quote]
