[quote=Anonymous]They know they're in the program but why should they know about the process? When I taught in FCPS a decade ago, first grade teachers had to admin a test that would be used to determine who got into AAP (not the NNAT). The test was over two days. One girl in my class had two older siblings already in AAP and was so stressed about the performance on the test that she threw up all over the test booklet on the first day! Even her mom admitted it was from stress, not illness. Because the county is uptight about procedures I had to put on gloves and go through the puke covered pages to transcribe her answers in a new booklet for the second day. This stayed on my mind when I chose not to tell my kid about the process while she was in it. [/quote]
