[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you'd prefer that gifted kids get shafted, huh?  The line has to be drawn somewhere.  People who just miss boundaries are always upset yet boundaries must be drawn.[/quote]

OP suggested gen ed kids have access to the same resources as AAP, how would that adversely impact AAP kids?  No one said to make AAP kids do the gen ed curriculum.[/quote]

Our FCPS LLIV school used grammar island and building language in the 3rd grade general ed and AAP classrooms.[/quote]

My kids' base school doesn't have Level IV.  Level IV schools that are already using resources for AAP are more likely to feel comfortable using some of then in Gen Ed also.  AAP kids across the county have access to the same curriculum.  I wish the access gen ed kids have to accelerated resources was more consistently administered.  Some gen ed kids have access to compacted math, some don't.  Some can be placed into Level IV classrooms for certain subject if the are advanced in those subjects, some can't....I have one child already in AAP.  My younger DC can definitely handle what the older one does in AAP so when the time comes, if necessary, I will parent refer and appeal because the base school offers very little differentiation.  Do I care about the AAP label?  No, but I do care about my kids getting the level of work they can handle so I will do what it takes to get them that.  FCPS needs to stop being so focused on the top and the bottom.  I know this isn't the case in all schools, but it's like that in enough of them that something should be done.
