[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is not that honors is not a good education, it is simply that it is different.

When we had to decide between the AAP center and the base middle school for our child, we went to a parent meeting where the teachers explained that AAP and honors were different curriculums. There were handouts available that showed the differences in what was taught in each.

What is the difference?[/quote]

I don't really have a dog in this fight, and I think both are excellent programs with different goals.  AAP is focused on compacting and accelerating the curriculum, a focus on higher order thinking skills and an emphasis on demonstrating autonomy and independence.  Honors is POS extension and emphasizes the development of emerging independence.  These are not my words -- they are directly from the FCPS website.  Again, both good programs but for different types of thinkers.  I also think I saw somewhere on the website that the POS for Honors and AAP were developed by different organizations.[/quote]
