[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Scrap the AAP model.  It's time to reinvent.

Level IV curriculum in every school and classroom.

[b]Very top 3-4% of students that simply cannot function in a normal classroom with differentiation are bussed to a special center for truly gifted, extreme IQ students.

These kids need special education the same way kids need special education on the other side of the spectrum. Mainstreamed to the greatest extent possible with differentiation in their home school and if that cannot work then they can be provided highly specialized teaching at a center that suits their needs.[/b]

This AAP madness is a burden on the school system and is simply lowering the standards for the majority of students in FCPS.

Bad idea.

My kid is in that upper 99% and the more inclusive program is more beneficial to these kids at the extreme.[/quote]
Agreed.  There is a whole other thread for folks to call AAP "madness" and "evil".  As others have observed many times, the negative center experience is far from universal.  If there are problem schools/neighborhoods, those should be addressed.    [/quote]

Exactly - sadly, I don't think we'll ever be able to shake the rabid AAP haters.  They pop up everywhere.  Even with threads like "where do you send your child for enrichment?" get nasty responses like "if your child is so gifted, why do they need it?"

Seems DCUM is a safe, anonymous place for these folks to vent their insecurities.

Its not madness, nonsense or evil - its not destroying the fabric our communities. It's not that dramatic.  The friends (mine and my kids) that we had before AAP, we still have.  If your 'community relationships' are that fragile, maybe you need to make some new, real friends?[/quote]
