[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is in the above average program (AAP) also. 30 in class. Still getting a good education, about same as I got in regular school 25 years ago.  Alot depends on the teacher you get. [/quote]

I did not have a similar curriculum in 5th and 6th grades when I was in "regular school" 33 years ago. But I am pleased with most of the curriculum in the GT center. Not science, though. The FCPS science curriculum is a joke. We teach science at home.[/quote]

My dd's AAP center has a science resource teacher and the kids have science every day. My dd is in a class of 32 this year, and she has learned and retained more this year than she ever has before. It has nothing to do with the size of her class and everything to do with her amazing teacher. [/quote]

What grade? We have found that the amount of time devoted to science classwork differs from year to year, depending on the SOLs that year. 3rd and 5th grade? Lots of science.  4th and 6th grade? not so much.[/quote]

I think we are at the same school as this poster, and my son had Science often (several times a week) in 3rd grade, every day in 4th, and now in 5th it is back to often. [/quote]
