Was happy with GE in local school. But realized that I made a BIG mistake seeing how literally nothing was taught in GE class. No challenge at all. DC learnt to decorate all numbers and alphabets in class to kill time!!

'there are folks that say AAP or GE may makes no difference at high school level. If you think about it- do you really want your child to go through their developmental years with no challenge and expect the same kids to get aggressive around HS?? May be over the last few years GE has been so dumbed down that the GE about 5-10 years was better and therefore some parents with older kids think so.

On a side note the class teacher thought DC was AAP material and AART thought that DC wasn't. Heard that center school was overcrowded and local school wanted to retain as many kids as possible. So the teachers were actually gaming the system!!

So parents - if you think your kid is AAP material - do not hesitate and listen to the AAP haters ( I was one last year and though AAP mad-rush was madness)

Either FCPS improves the standards for all kids and challenge them accordingly; else AAP will be overcrowded. Right now Level 1 to 3 is merely a namesake program.[/quote]
