[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] ... at the very least, raise the benchmark needed to get into AAP, so that it is only for the truly "gifted," those who need special accomodations. This current version of AAP has strayed so far from its original intent. The program is really a sham compared to what it was several years ago. [/quote][/quote] Why has the current version of AAP strayed? At least in part because of parents who have prepped their kids for these tests to get them into this program that they have been led to believe is the only way to get a good education for their kids. If the prepping somehow stopped (and, no, I'm not naive, so I don't actually think that would happen), the program would probably settle back to the approximately 10% level. [/quote]
