many may not be, but what do you do for the ones that are?[/quote]
They're not having their needs met in AAP as it is, so why does it really matter?  I have the kid who is grade skipped in AAP math and still finds everything incredibly slow.  Right now, the system seems to be set up such that the bulk of kids in AAP don't need it, and it's completely inadequate for those who do need it.  Kids who actually are gifted need to enroll in outside gifted programs if they want their needs met.  [/quote]

you are still not answering the question: what do you do for the kids that are advanced in everything?

From how I read your post, your kid is advanced in math, not everything, so you can't understand how you can be advanced in everything.

No.  Mine is advanced in everything.  He's just outlier-advanced in math and regular-AAP advanced in language arts.  Unless a kid is multiple grade levels ahead, it should be possible to meet that kid's needs at the base school with class switching.  Very few AAP kids are that advanced, and the ones who are will still be bored and unchallenged in an AAP center.

The kids who are actually gifted would benefit from a return to the old program, wherein only 5-ish percent of the kids are served.  [/quote]
