[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Why would parents who prep share that info with teachers, even if asked? Asking the kids is the only way to get an honest answer. BTW, if FCPS "tacitly accept" prepping, as an earlier poster argued, then why are teachers asking.[/quote] Would we accept it if someone asked our kids sensitive information because parents wouldn't share such information? There's an ethical issue at the very least, regardless of individual teachers' stand on the issue, if it is not an FCPS policy. A simple solution would be to reverse the current approach -- instead of going through all these efforts to select kids for AAP, make AAP the default for FCPS, and create a special program (call it whatever) for those kids who can't keep up or need the extra help. This would also raise the overall standard for elementary education. Even the FCPS AAP is far behind the education standards of other countries, if not other parts of the US.[/quote]
