[quote=Anonymous]We had around a half dozen kids who did this at my kid's elementary school (Sangster) back when AAP was smaller.  This was a class prior to the additional NNAT screening, before the program ballooned to its current size.

Those kids went to LB  for 1st period to take Algebra.  I think FCPS transported them.  It wasn't my kid so I am not 100% certain, but if I am remembering correctly, the kids were dropped off in the morning by parents or took the LB bus if they could, then were bussed back to Sangster as a group by FCPS in a shorter bus. They were a decent sized group for a short bus, so it wasn't just 1 or 2 kids getting chauffeured around.  Sangster was a very late start then, and LB had the early start, so the kids missed very little elementary school, perhaps only the first 30 minutes or so of the day.

This was back when AAP was smaller and middle school had class every day, instead of the every other day 90 minute block schedules like they do now.  I don't see how this would work today with block scheduling.  I imagine the 90 minute format only 2 or 3 times per week would be difficult developmentally for 6th graders, even really smart ones.

Why don't you pose this question on the AAP board?  They will be more likely to have current, updated information.[/quote]
