[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]95th national percentile is not the same as 95th percentile in Fairfax County. Take the top 2% in the county, put them in what had always been known as a gifted program, and move on. Set the bar high in General Ed with appropriate differentiation. Problem is AAP has become so large that exclusion is considered a slight. Scale down the program, and the bulk of the parents will have nothing to complain about because their child didn't make such a stringent cut.[/quote] YES! Almost all of the issues stem from the fact parents can't stand for their child to be excluded from a program that in some schools includes a high percentage of a grade. Make AAP truly for the top 2% or 5% of our demographics. The parent of the kid in the top 6th percent won't be happy, but it's different being part of 94% rather than 70%. And since so many above-average kids will remain in home schools, up the ante there![/quote] Yes, yes, and YES.[/quote]
