[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't care about whether AAP exists or not or whether centers are an option or not.  I just want a system where kids who are above grade level in a subject can receive above grade level instruction in that subject.

AAP doesn't seem to work correctly in that manner, since[b] a lot of kids[/b] who are above grade level aren't being admitted, and[b] a lot of kids,[/b] even from the same school, who are on or below grade level are being admitted.

The HOPE scale seems like more proof that FCPS can't decide whether AAP is a gifted program, an above grade level instructional program, or a talent development program.  It's trying to wear all 3 hats and is doing it quite poorly.  [/quote]

A lot of kids = a handful

I don't know exactly how it works now but before they changed everything, most kids were where you would expect them to be, the smart/bright/gifted kids in AAP and the regular kids in gen ed.  It's only on DCUM where the gifted kids all get left out and the undeserving are admitted.[/quote]
