[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dont like the use of the word dumb with kids but parents need to recognize that not all kids are gifted or advanced. Some are average and that is okay. I have 1 who is gifted and 1 who likely will not test into AAP when the time comes. I would never deprive the gifted kid opportunities because their sibling may not get into those classes. This idea that everyone has to be pulled down for the sake of "fairness" is silly and will only drive people out of FCPS. I certainly know if the standards are lowered any further or if the AAP classes "dumbed down," we will pull our gifted kid for other schooling opportunities. [/quote]

yup a gifted program should be for the top 5% max not the close to 20% joke that AAP is[/quote]

So.. you will not be jealous if it benefits 5% of the students but will be because it benefits another 15%?!?   :roll:   Scratching my head here..  I bet you didn't qualify for AAP..[/quote]

huh?  I want an actual gifted program not something that pushy motivated parents can manipulate to get away from the normals and the poors[/quote]

Instead why not advocate for a true GT program in addition to a program that can meet the needs of the next 15-20%?[/quote]

Because a well run school district should be able to meet the needs of the students in the regular classroom with specialized programs to meet the needs of the gifted and those struggling. [/quote]

That is what FCPS does. Some people are mad that their kids aren't getting certain services but their kid may not need that service. No need to be jealous about it.

The state is not responsible for raising children for parents. At some point parents have to be actively involved in their kid's education. There is no way around that. [/quote]
