[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you have 25 - 50% in AAP, the term "gifted" has lost all meaning.[/quote]

There are NOT 25-50% of fcps kids in AAP centers/level IV.

You need to try to brush up on facts.[/quote]

No, you need to brush up on your facts.  Of the three schools closest to my house:  One has 35%, one has 33% and the other has 25%.  There are schools with up to 50% kids in AAP.  That is a fact.[/quote]

The program is not 25-50% of the kids.

The vast majority of schools do not send 25-50% of their kids to AAP.

There are a small handful of TJ feeders that have an extraordinary amout of kids in AAP, but many of that sample is self selected in that parents specifically moved into those schools to maximize TJ potential.

Using that handful of kids in the few TJ feeder areas makes as much sense as citing AAP enrollment from the schools along the Hwy 1 corridor then vehemently insisting that AAP only takes 1-5 kids per grade.

You are not relying on facts and actual data and are only talking about the extremes.[/quote]
