[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is this in the AAP forum?[/quote]

Honors, AP and IB classes are all AAP.[/quote]

No, they're not.  Honors, AP, and IB are open enrollment for any student interested.  They are not part of elementary/middle AAP.  [/quote]

AAP= advanced academic curriculum and AP, IB and Honors are part of that definition.  While this forum is primarily for FCPS AAP formal program, it is not exclusively for it.

No, specifically AAP= is in fact and specifically The Advanced Academic Program offered only in grades 3-8th. That is the title/name of the specific program and not an umbrella term referring to all advanced academic programs offered by Fairfax County. Yet , you are correct in that the counties advance Academic programs are described on the district web page under the title of Advanced Academic Programs.  AAP, AP, IB ,  and Honors  all fall under advanced academic programs..... There for this question is definitely in the wrong forum. [/quote]

It's ridiculous that this thread is in the AAP forum, when it's specifically referencing GPA.  GPA doesn't even come into play until high school (with very few middle school classes counting toward it).  So if we're talking about high school, Honors, AP, IB, etc. - these classes are open to everyone.  "AAP" doesn't have anything to do with it.[/quote]

AP, IB, honors, etc. are all part of Advanced Academic Programs.  The "bump" for high school grade points is related to advanced academic programs.  GPA in general is not.[/quote]

Yes, but the point is that this question would get a lot more traffic if it was on the VA Schools forum, since all kids can take Honors, AP, and IB in high school.  It's silly to put it on this forum when many more parents don't have kids in elem./middle school AAP, yet have plenty of kids who take advanced classes in high school - when GPA is even calculated.
