[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, the above illustrates why the improvement needs to start with consistent Level 3 programming.  And let's be clear -- some of those in the Level 3 group qualified for AAP but their parents opted not to send them to the center for any number of reasons.  For example some L3 kids who are every bit as "smart" as AAP kids in math (i.e. can move at the same lightning speed in math as those in AAP), are engaged once or twice a month in differentiated learning depending on the school -- a la pull-outs.  Yet AAP/LLIV kids get reinforcement at that pace every day.

Let's take it a step further and look at AAP in middle school.  My kids aren't there yet, but a friend with one aap kid and one L3 kid shared this disturbing tidbit.  [b]While FCPS touts the fact any kid can take honors math, but there is a special "secret" section reserved just for kids from aap.  WTF?  [/b]

I want my kids to move at the right pace -- they're faster than some, slower than others.  I don't care what their level is.  What I don't want is someone impeding their progress, if they're deemed at grade level in the first semester, and others aren't.  I Also want consistency across the county.

Until the inconsistencies between schools are removed, it will be difficult for people to move past the debate you don't addressed here, OP.[/quote]
