[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread confirms yet again that parents the worst thing about AAP.[/quote]

Correction, the worst thing are the parents whose kids don't get in and then become determined to destroy the program.[/quote]
My kid got in and I agree with the PP that the parents really are the worst thing about it.  I don't want to destroy it. I also think it's become a program for parents to flee gen ed vs. an actual gifted program. [/quote]

Definitely fleeing gen ed is one of the top reasons IMO. But can you blame people? If your kid has even half a brain at most of these schools, they will just be put in a corner with a computer while the teacher either tries to control the problem kids or tries to teach the kids who probably should have been held back because they're so far behind everyone else.

^ this is exactly why they should kill AAP. [/quote]

How exactly is that going to help? Do you think some magical tiered system will emerge? Nope. Now everyone loses. Congratulations![/quote]

Without AAP, there would be no brain drain and “base” school performance would improve across the board.

You can cluster to differentiate for GT and SN.

Isn't this what Fairfax used to have? It must have changed for a reason.[/quote]

They still have it. It’s called AAP and IEP.

They changed it so that parents would have something to complain, I mean, strive for. [/quote]
