[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Small school. Kids are very aware if they are the smart kids in AAP or they're not. Awful. The whole FCPS model of centers, of separating kids in 3rd grade is awful. My fault I didn't know enough when we moved to FCPS. Would not have moved here.[/quote]

Which school?[/quote]

Maybe your fault for not having a smart kid?  :roll: [/quote]

FCPS teacher here - very few aap kids are actually smarter.  It's a mixed bag of "has pushy parents," works really hard (but is in no way brilliant), and developed early or was redshirted.  Here and there a true genius - but it's rare.  [/quote]
How do we know you are the real FCPS teacher here?
It's more likely you're a sour grape parent whose dumb kids couldn't get in AAP.[/quote]

Please tell me this was a troll. I have 2 kids in AAP, and one who is not. I am appalled that an adult would say this, calling  another person's child dumb?  [/quote]
So a kid cannot be dumb? If yes, what's the problem of telling the truth on an anonymous forum? Stop being a hypocrite![/quote]

I cannot believe I am even replying to this post. I do not see anything hypocritical in my post. The fact that you are saying that a child who is not in AAP, must be "dumb" is so immature and childish I cannot believe an adult would say such a thing.  The only people I hear use such language are preschoolers and early elementary school students. As I said, one of my children is not in AAP. He is most certainly not "dumb", but again, I cannot believe an adult would use that word.  Are there children with different academic abilities? Certainly. IMO, none of them are "dumb".[/quote]

First of all, not all kids who qualify for AAP make that choice (we didnt. I also have a friend whose DH was a FCPS principal and he did not permit his kids to do AAP). At our school, some of the grades have equal or higher number of AAP classes v. non-AAP.  Sorry, there are not that many kids in need of AAP.  Even the AAP teachers in my school state that. The program has become a competitive thing, with hovering, pushy parents ensuring their kids need to go AAP.  [/quote]
