[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why not an AAP magnet school?  Then there would be no centers in neighborhood schools and no LLIV.  The AAP madness could be confined to one or two all AAP schools.[/quote]

Interesting concept - "TJ" for elementary and middle school for the truly gifted, everyone else back in their neighborhood school.

Makes too much sense to work.[/quote]

+100  Especially if the magnet schools were limited to the "truly gifted" only.  [/quote]

+1000. Best Ideas I've heard about AAP. Clean and Simple. AAP Magnet Schools only with Level IV (aka Center placed) students. Cheaper to transport (Hubs like airports), no Principal favoritism stuff.[/quote]

Except that Level IV center students aren't the "truly gifted".  So there's that.[/quote]

hmm. so you get Level V, Level VI, Level MCLXXX.... who are the really truly gifted? Center Placed are enough. Unless you want to brain scan the kids to see if there is a way to find more truly gifted.[/quote]

Sounds like our local soccer travel team tiers. There are now 5 tiers of soccer just for elementary school students. Because of course every kid must play (or work in this case) at the same level as everyone else they come in contact with. God forbid someone is better than them that they can learn from or beneath them that they can be a leader for.[/quote]
