[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would FCPS invest in teaching accelerated content to a student who hasn’t mastered previously taught concepts and needs remediation. This makes absolutely no sense.  [/quote]
You are missing the point here.  The question being asked is should FCPS invest in pre-teaching from the get go so that the student wouldnt need remedial? Similar to what involved parents do at home or through enrichment (although for different reason, which is giving their child a leg up).  [/quote]

If a student needs pre-teaching to get a concept the first time w their peers then they shouldn’t be in AAP. This question should probably be asked in FCPS forum. [/quote]
Large majority of AAP students are enrolled in math enrichment that exposes them to math concepts before it's taught in school classroom.  Are you saying they shouldn't be in AAP?[/quote]

No, I'm not saying that. I don’t care what they’re doing outside of school, not do I have any idea if they’d fail to get concepts w/o the outside enrichment. I’m saying FCPS shouldn’t be responsible for pre-teaching kids in the advanced academic program. [/quote]
