A GT program isn't an "option".  A student is either admitted or they aren't.[/quote]

If AAP were a real GT program, I would agree with you.  There's such a huge overlap between the abilities of the top kids in gen ed and the bottom half of AAP that it's hardly surprising for parents of kids in that ability group to want their kids in AAP.  It's absurd to want your bright child in a gifted program.  It's not absurd to want your bright child in the somewhat inconsistently and arbitrarily selected bright child program that is AAP.

This. I’m OP and if it were a real GT program my son would still be in it but my daughter would very likely not and I’d be more than content with that. In fact, that would be my preference for it to be the old school GT program it was when I was a kid even though that would almost definitely mean one kid in, one out. Because DD doesn’t need AAP like my DS needs a gifted program. But as it stands, I know my DD could do very well in AAP. She is the type of kid that will be fine anywhere so I’m not worried about her not being in.  I just figured she would be and would like for that to be the case. [/quote]
