[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The point of that article from Cambridge isn't 8th grade algebra specifically.  It's the fact that many public school systems, including FCPS, are now at least partly opposed to the idea of the smartest, luckiest, most privileged and prepared kids getting further and further ahead.  Because of political goals and professional incentives.

Private and religious schools, by contrast, are relatively more committed to helping each and every student reach their full God-given potential.  Private schools get paid by individual families, so they have a different set of incentives than public schools that get paid by governments.

FCPS has lots of great administrators and teachers.  And they have AAP programs that in many cases are better than the advanced options offered by private schools.  My point is just that FCPS is less committed to helping the best students separate from the pack than they used to be.  That doesn't mean FCPS isn't great.  It just means that today's AAP isn't run, celebrated, or supported the way it was 20 or 30 years ago.  And so the relative benefit of choosing AAP over private is smaller than it was 20 or 30 years ago.  [/quote]
