[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Makes you question the selectivity of the program. One would think that an AAP class WOULD have fewer students than a gen Ed classroom because there are by definition fewer "gifted" students than there are average/above average kids. [/quote] True, but the model FCPS follows is exactly the opposite. Far more AAP kids than Gen Ed, in our school and the surrounding area (Vienna, Great Falls). I feel like we're living in Lake Wobegon. :roll: [/quote] God Bless Garrison Keillor! Lake Wobegon -- where ALL the kids are above average.. Couldn't they just train the teachers to administer group differentiation within the classroom? The truly gifted (à la Jacob Barnett) can't be accommodated by FCPS anyway. (The parents of those kids know this all to well and invest in other academic options)[/quote]
