[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who cares? A kid with a super high score who isn't in pool likely has a parent who refers. [b]The pool is for kids whose parents have no idea what AAP is[/b]. This is a big nothing burger.[/quote]

Sounds like DEI standards. [/quote]

State law requires it and the pool was around long before DEI was a thing. It was always there to catch kids whose parents don’t know about the opportunity because the GT/AAP type programs should not be something available only to people in the know.

Sounds like you just want to hoard opportunity.

The truth is that most of the kids who are looked at for AAP are parent referred. The Pool is a safe guard that the state requires. Every AART tells parents that they should parent refer regardless of in-pool status because it is can help a child’s application. If you are choosing to ignore what the AART says and what every person on this board says, a board that you are participating in, that is on you.

FCPS sends out regular emails that reminds parents that AAP meetings are coming up and that applications are coming due. You miss that, then it is on you. [/quote]

Nobody is trying to hoard opportunity.  It doesn’t make sense that children in the top 2% of intelligence from one elementary school are not equally considered with children at other another elementary school that are in the 75th percentile.  The highly gifted 2% are not learning advanced or in depth curriculum from the other students in the class.  That would come from the teachers/AAP Program.

This is 💯 DEI and will be reported.[/quote]

Parent refer and they will be equally considered. No one is denying them consideration. You simply have to refer. If you can’t do that then that is on you.[/quote]
