[quote=Anonymous]I don't have a bone in this because I have a child who would be in AAP whether or not it remains status quo or was a pick only the "truly gifted students" The current program as it stands could use some improvements. However, I think that the slightly larger sizes we currently have and the variety of gifted and really smart hard workers is beneficial to all the students but especially the kids who test the highest. However, AAP as it stands is as large as it should be. Open enrollment and parent placement is a terrible idea and would destroy any benefits to the program, especially for those kids who test the highest. What I do think would be beneficial is to periodically reevalute kids who appear to be struggling in multiple subjects and asses whether they should continue in AAP. The transition from 6th to MS would be an excellent time to do this, as would the end of third grade.[/quote]
