[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Music, art, etc are experienced by all the children.  Just like P.E.

As far as Special Needs, gifted children should be treated similar to children with special needs since it is a special need according to their 'lobbying' group.

They should get pull outs from class, enrichment, access to the AART teacher at the school, that sort of thing.  Not a multiple separate centers, separate classrooms (unless they are severely disabled of course), separate curriculums, etc.  They get enrichment to access the curriculum that everyone else has maybe in a more meaningful way suited to them.   They are mainstreamed as much as possible.

What about kids who need more full time support, whether it is for enrichment or remediation?[/quote]

Seriously?? Full time support for enrichment.  Do you even know the definition of enrichment??

There are kids in my child's school with full on disabilities, cannot walk without assistance, cannot form complete sentences, wheelchair bound.  These students NEED full time support.

Please tell me why Ceasar's English and Worldly Wise and cute colorful agendas require full time support?

Honestly, are AAP parents really this obtuse?  Clearly, they are unable to distinguish between kids who have actual learning difficulties, and kids who simply enjoy extra enrichment.  The two are not even remotely linked and FCPS needs to stop buying into this fiction that AAP kids, as a whole, "need" anything more than all other mainstream kids.  As for extra enrichment, it would be wonderful if ALL classes were given this enrichment.  That's the direction FCPS needs to take.  Full-time support should be reserved only for kids at both ends of the spectrum who cannot learn in a regular classroom.  I imagine that would be a tiny percentage of those currently crowded into AAP. [/quote]
