[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a kid scores high and is in AAP they must be brilliant.  WHETHER OR NOT THEY DO SHIT IN CLASS.  Scores clearly tell the teachers that a child is a genius.   NOT AT ALL.  I teach 3rd grade AAP in FCPS and I have so many under qualified kids whose parents forced them into GT.  These kids struggle to do their work and should not be here even though they are brilliant!  I wish i had students who applied themselves to their work.  Because so many parents appeal and threaten to sue we have kids who are the equivalnet of mushrooms in our AAP program.  They thrive on shit and they are shit.  I wish things went bacvk to when I began in the county and the GT kids were actually bright.  Now most are ther because their parents are pushy.[/quote]

With all due respect, you are missing the point of AAP.  [b]If they aren't working in class, then maybe you need to do a better job to engage the[/b]m.  They scored high.  That means they are in the top 5% of the country (or higher) from an intelligence standpoint.  They would not be any better served in a non AAP class.  [b]Teaching AAP kids doesn't mean that teacher's job suddenly becomes a walk in the park.  All teachers have to work, AAP or non AAP. [/b] How exactly is a parent "pushing" their child into AAP when their child is clearly gifted?  That's what AAP is for.[/quote]

You sound like you need to take a teaching sabbatical.

FCPS should only hire teachers that "applied themselves" while working with children in the classroom instead of hiring "mushrooms"  for teachers who think their [u]the[/u] shit when they are actually just shit.[/quote]
