[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very interesting that kids in advanced Math and AAP Math can choose the same classes in middle school but there are AAP only tracks for  English, History and Science. 
Most kids good at Math will also be good at Science, but may not be that interested in English/History. I wish the Science courses get treated similarly to Math.[/quote]

This is honestly how they should do it in elementary schools. Kids who are good at math should get advanced math. Kids who are great readers/analytic thinkers should get advanced English/Social Studies. Everyone should get the same science, no advancements necessary in elementary school science. [/quote]+1 but the AAP parents would never allow it.[/quote]

If you do research into gifted education (which is what AAP initially was called and still is used for), that isn’t best practice. Gifted kids need to be in a class with like minded peers. Constantly switching classes for each subject like you are suggesting isn’t practical. And then they are stuck in class in science with kids who can’t read? Nope. Not gonna happen. [/quote]

I would love for you to find me other examples of program sas broad as AAP (which is absolutely NOT gifted education, hahahaha). FCPS is an outlier with this mode and it's not workingl.[/quote]
