[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AAP is so watered down it is a joke.  Most of the kids in AAp don't belong.  As a FCPS teacher I have experienced about four gifted kids in the last ten years. They truly stand out and are rare.  Now any parent who pushes can get their average child into AAP.  And most of them are AVERAGE!  Yes you all think your son or daughter is brilliant.  Well, they are not.  And continually praising their brilliance is just setting them up for greater failure as many of them believe that they don't need to do anything as mom and dad have constantly told them how bright they are.....[/quote]

You are right, but the reason so many push for their kids to be in AAP is because far too often the level of education provided by the teachers in gen ed is substandard so parents feel like AAP is the only way for theIr kids to get a good education.  Maybe fixing that issue is a more constructive way to resolve the problems you have with the composition of AAP rather than bashing parents who just want what's best for their kids.[/quote]
