[quote=Anonymous]In reply to 16:50.  Definitely a lie if parents or educators say that ALL aap are 2 years advanced.i know too many parents with kids in aap who have a tutor 3 days a week. The child would likely not struggle if they were in non aap classes. I love the idea of GT for the top 2%, AAP for the hard working, but average kids, and then nonAAP for the general ed. However, FCPS is too politically correct and would never employ this. The top 2% would, more than likely, represent the asian and white communities.

To the ofher poster, yes, I  have met truly gifted kids. They tend to be more cerebral and quiet when compared to the just hard working kids.  They learn in a different way. FCPS lacks in differentiated instruction. It is 2 words that FCPS refers to but is almost never used in real life.  Even in the GT center, the teacher still has to teach to the LCD. Personally, I look at school as a supplement to my teaching at home. School is not the end all be all for learning. It is 1 of many facets.
