[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]AAP is providing a better education to all FCPS students in that it reduces the amount of differentiation that needs to be done in each classroom. So both GE and AAP kids benefit.

All AAP is doing is skimming off the slightly above-average kids from Gen Ed classes and creating an enormous, bloated, out-of-control mass of kids at center schools, who now outnumber the Gen Ed kids.  GE classes are now for kids who just barely missed the AAP cutoff, and all the special needs kids who have been mainstreamed into Gen Ed.  [quote]Thus, the typical bright Gen Ed kid is now in a class with the special needs kids, who, guess what, have special needs!  [/quote]These are the kids who need special accomodations, as well as the [i]tiny[/i] percentage of highly gifted kids.  Not the vast majority of kids accepted into AAP.  The program has become so divisive and mismanaged.  As much as parents desperately want to believe their average children are gifted, there needs to be a wakeup call within FCPS.  AAP needs to go.

Sounds like this is your problem in the classroom, but I guess it's not so PC to say. [/quote]
