[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

You do realize the program is already far from the "highest test scores" or are you just one of those who is so smart you are stupid.[/quote]

You lack reading comprehension skills.

What I said was that the kids in AAP benefit greatly from there being a range of kids in there, from those who are there due to hard work to tuose students who test off the charts. In my opinion the kids who test off the chart benefit the most from having the other kids in AAP.

I think the program would not be as beneficial if it was limited to only the kids who are at the very, very top. [/quote]

If your acquaintances don't tell you that you are an IDIOT often I guarantee you they talk about it behind your back.  What is the point of the AAP program at all if you want a range?  There is a range of kids in neighborhood schools - not that I would want you there.[/quote]
