The average kid in this county is probably bright and hardworking.  For those that like to be challenged there is Level II/III.  But Level IV should be nearly impossible  for the average bright kid.  It was originally designed for truly gifted and over the years has been immensely watered down.  Look at how many Centers there are!  Then most schools want their own Level IV program, so as to retain their brightest, but the school then has to find other "hardworking and bright" kids" to fill the class.   Now of 3 third grade classes in a school 1 is for Level IV?  So one third of the kids are in the top 5%.  That's a real joke. [/quote]

I agree with you, but your anger and frustration are misdirected.  Right now, AAP is for the average bright kid, so of course parents want their bright kids to be in, too.  You should blame FCPS for allowing the program to evolve into its current state, rather than blaming parents for simply advocating for their children.  [/quote]
