[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid "needs" AAP because FCPS offers the program and will find my kid eligible for the program.  Seriously, no one "needs" AAP, but people always want what they perceive to be the best for their kids.  I know I'll get a bunch of "if you don't think some kids 'need' AAP, clearly you don't have a truly gifted child."  You know what, I don't think my child is gifted, but the first thing the teacher proactively said in my recent conferences was that AAP was the right place for DC.  Does DC "need" it, no, but that doesn't mean it's not the right fit.  People will always try to get their child into what they perceive as the best opportunity, regardless of whether someone else thinks they don't "need" it.  [b]Basically, people who make the "only those who need it should be in" argument are saying that kids in the 97-99th percentile are disadvantaged by being in a class with the 90-96th percentile, but the 90-96th percentile kids will do just fine with the 1-89th percentile.

Exactly.  The hypocrisy just kills me.  [/quote]

I'd prefer if AAP was restricted to the 99th percentile.  [/quote]

I'd go out to 98%.[/quote]
