[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm laughing at all the anti-prep talk and children not being a good fit because they're not qualified.

AAP isn't hard.  It's mildly more advanced than the general classroom.  50%+ of students could easily be comfortable with this level of education.  While it's advertised as FCPS's state mandated G&T program, it doesn't serve the needs of those students, as it's truly a program designed to accommodate rich parents who want to brag their children are advanced.

If prepping gets your 20% FCPS percentile child into the 15% of those accepted, you're in good company with most of the kids in the program already.

You've gamed the (designed to be game-able) system and it's worked.  You can continue to feel good about yourselves, while your child will do just fine.

This from a parent of a borderline kid who prepped and has no regrets.  Blame the system and not the parents.  If it was for the top 1-2%, no one would be having this discussion.[/quote]

Kids who need tutoring to be in AAP should not be in AAP. Part of the reason the program has slowed down is because kids are being admitted who should be in the Gen Ed class because they don't need AAP. But the more parents apply for kids who are borderline and appeal to get their borderline kids in, the more slowly the class moves. It is why the program needs to be able to remove kids who are not able to handle the material. [/quote]
