[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While FCPS is dumbing down for blacks and latinos? My DS is black and has an IQ of 150+ on the WISC IV and SB. He has been thriving in AAP for several years and continues to outperform peers.

There are MANY children in my sons's AAP classes who are barely working above grade level. But guess what, I don't mind at all. They aren't harming anyone. They aren't taking away an opportunity from my child. In fact, they are enriching his life and he's learning that everyone has strengths in different areas. It also is character building that he's able to help his peers.

This is the problem with so many parents, people in general, they are so afraid of something different. Or someone taking an opportunity from them. Our society is better when everyone has an opportunity to meet their full potential. If your child is truly gifted they will thrive. And if you're concerned they aren't getting enough from the program offer tons of enrichment at home. That's what we do and it works. [b]I don't go around saying why are these dumb white or Asian kids being allowed to learn alongside with my superior son. That sort of talk is offensive. And I'm sick of the notion that it's somehow okay when the races are reversed.[/b][/quote]

Uh.. hey who brought race into AAP.  That's right NAACP.
I'm happy for you that your kid is smart and doing great in AAP regardless of race.
I would like to be color blind, treat all kids the same, and provide equal opportunity regardless of races.  
Tell that to NAACP. [/quote]
