[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I appreciate all the idea but sadly it really shows the privilege. Honestly how many parents will remember to capture those precious moments of their "gifted" children, especially those who have to work long hours to make ends meet? FCPS really should get rid of this home-provided work samples.[/quote]

You don’t take pictures of your kid playing? It wasn’t hard to find pictures of him building and engineering. And it is not hard to google worksheets for math problems and print them out. Heck, you could set it up so the AART provides worksheets for samples for parents who want to appeal. The parent cold ask for math related worksheet and the AART hands over a few with instructions on what to have the kid do.

I don’t even know if the home work samples changes anything. [/quote]

Not every kid “creates”. Some kids just normally play and don’t leave a trail of engineering wonders behind them… So for those kids you might need to go the extra mile and set up the activity and then you can “capture it” on camera.[/quote]

Or, maybe those aren't the kinds of kids who will excel in AAP. Why are we forcing every kid into that box? There is nothing wrong with gen ed.[/quote]

Exactly!![/quote]
