[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Which is irrelevant because AAP is NOT a G&T program. It's a sped-up and deeper version of the standard curriculum, and I'd assume any truly gifted students would be bored and better served by grade skipping or getting a merit scholarship to an elite private.[/quote] The State of Virginia mandates that gifted children be provided a gifted program. Either FCPS is violating that mandate, or AAP is the FCPS gifted program. Since FCPS is using AAP to satisfy the gifted mandate, then it needs to actually serve gifted students. IME, grade skipping is not a great solution for many kids. The instructional pace is still slow enough that the grade-skipped kids catch up quickly and are soon bored at the top of the new class. It also assumes that the kids are socially advanced enough to handle being surrounded by older children. [/quote]
