[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With that WISC, I don’t think FCPS is the right place for your child. Have you thought about Nysmith or Basis? I would really consider it, even though it would be hard financially.

Look into Virginia law, I believe they are legally required to provide gifted services for gifted children. There is no way your child is not profoundly gifted. [/quote]
Do you know anything near Fairfax City? We are in the Fairfax district.  he has a younger brother with a similar mental capacity about to start kindergarten.  Just not as burst at the seam.  So everything x2.  Preferring toward the public school route with a lawyer support.  And getting him more outside resources.  [/quote]

I'll put this here and not on your other thread.  My info is 4 years old, but my kid's experience in the Mosaic AAP classes were not great.  They still used reading groups, and the higher groups almost never had time with the teacher.  Instead, they did a lot of busywork.  Math classes were very slow, used stations, and many of the stations were garbage.  The kids saw the teacher maybe once every two days, and otherwise had Dreambox, "math games" - ie talk to friends time, "math choice" - ie more talk to friends time, and other stupid stuff.  Math tests were usually online multiple choice, very poorly written exams. Projects were mostly making google slideshows, and the smartest kids were usually paired up with the struggling ones.  Most of the teachers were pretty awful and had terrible classroom control.  My kid said that every classroom was a chaotic madhouse, and he could never hear himself think.

Mosaic AAP would be a disaster for a profoundly gifted child with behavior issues.

His regular class right now is definitely not the right environment either...  he's frustrated with the class and no one can understand what he's thinking.  Wish FCPS has a true gifted program.  Does the Mosaic AAP program allow kids to learn things on their own?  That would be helpful if they allow that, kid's general classroom does not allow it, and any attempt to do so is seen as not paying attention in class.  Kid is very good at researching and learning things on his own.[/quote]
