[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't hate the players, hate the game.[/quote] But that would mean her child is not “gifted”. What a tragedy! Instead her child [b]is[/b] [b][u]gifted[/u][/b], and the others are cheating.[/quote] AAP is not a gifted program. When a child actively prepares for tests, including COGAT, NNAT, SOL, etc. it demonstrates their appreciation for and interest in learning. In this regard, they are likely to adapt well to the AAP program. While it is not a very good program for truly gifted children, it does provide an excellent opportunity for students who are motivated to delve deeper into their studies compared to their peers in general education. [/quote] The commonwealth of Virginia requires a gifted program for schools. AAP is the gifted program for FCPS. And it's a good program for my "actually" gifted kid as well as my "only 120s IQ" kid. Ymnv[/quote] AAP is NOT a gifted program, but fcps fulfills the gifted mandate through the aap program. Truly gifted children aren’t being served. [/quote] Fwiw, the design of the center school system is to both provide a curriculum (the implementation varies by school and teacher) [i]and[/i] to provide a cohort of a large number of gifted kids as well as some bright kids (which also varies by school and class). The cohort is the most valuable and beneficial part of the program for "truly gifted kids". [/quote]
