[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not that the curricula are so vastly different, it's more the speed at which the classes go through their studies. When covering similar course materials, the AAP class will simply cover more ground or more depth in a week than the regular class. 
One size does not fit all. I think it's wonderful that there are different classrooms suited to different types of learners in Fairfax County. [/quote]

I agree!  My child has been in gifted programs in 3 different states.  Usually DC is just one of two or 3 students in the grade.  How wonderful it is that Fairfax is able to fund such a large, inclusive program and offer this service to so many kids.  This is even more exceptional considering how strong the regular non-AAP classes, teachers and students are at the base schools.

The district has specialists for kids lagging behind, language assistance and enrichment for students who are not fluent in English, and even additional pullout and enrichment for kids who are bright and hardworking but who might not need the specialized instruction of a full immersion gifted program.

How fortunate our children are to go to school in a district that provides so many accomodations and such a rich learning experience for all of its students.[/quote]
