[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]to those complaining about the AAP - not having it creates other issues. In MoCo (where I am; considering move to FFX which i why i am lurking here) there is nothing at all in any formal way that requires schools to seriously help target advanced ES learners beyond reading groups except for a VERY small program for the top 2 - 3% of kids. That program I hear is awesome but also only exists for 4 and 5th grades. So until 3rd grade you have nothing and for the 97% of kids in regular schools you have little formal process in place to help ensure that those needing more enrichment to target where they are at get it.

Then MoCo sounds like the place for me.  The Fairfax Co. AAP program is so imbalanced and out of control; what it needs is to target only the top 2-3% of kids, just as MoCo does.  AAP has been so expanded in recent years that the white-hot focus on getting kids in has become incredibly tiresome and divisive.  I'd love to live in an area where the schools' focus isn't solely on AAP and only the very few who actually need a differentiated classroom are placed in it. [/quote]
