[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread was started for an explanation for the difference between tracking and the AAP program. In reading through the post it seems to me the consenses is that indeed the AAP program is absolutely tracking.  So why then do FCPS teachers, at least several I have raised this question to, think that it is not tracking and treat tracking like it is a dirty word.  Perhaps the fact that AAP is tracking is why FCPS is filling it with a larger percentage of above average students.  [b]I think they need justification for keeping the program. [/b] Personally I think they have crated a "monster" by lowering the standards for center admittance.  To get rid of the tracking aspect they need to raise the bar for center admittance to accomodate only the truly exceptional academic students.  All others should have their needs met in their assigned schools.  It is absolutly wrong to give some above average learners advanced class work and not others (not to mention the check box on their school records).  The admittance process is terribly flawed for an advanced academic program.  Many of the students in the program are not advanced academically and many students who are advanced are not "selected" because of the favoritism and horrible subjectivity which is used in the selection process for all levels of the current AAP program.
