[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a child in AAP. And before anyone starts with the "you didn't have to enroll her if you think base schools are fine" our center is in our base school.

This entire artificial construct that "gifted" children's needs couldn't be met in a non-AAP classroom is ridiculous.  If AAP didn't exist, I guarantee schools would adjust as need to be accommodate the more advanced learners.  Thousands of really terrific school districts across the country do just that.  It's a fact.

Of course removing top-performing kids from base schools will change the base schools.  But it's ludicrous for parents not to recognize those schools would also change if AAP kids moved back.

The people who defend AAP are trying to protect their ability to overtly show their child is "gifted."[/quote]

I think it can change the schools for the better.

At the base school, my kid and others got to rise to the top when the AAP kids left.[/quote]

What about those GE students who attend base schools which happen to be centers?  There's no room for those kids to "rise to the top" when they're outnumbered by AAP kids.[/quote]
