[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It isn’t advanced academics.  Not sure what it is.  With low scores getting in and high scores getting rejected, it simply isn’t.  There will be lawsuits and rightly so.  It gives certain kids access to a better education and there doesn’t seem to be a rational basis for it.  Someone is going to bring the whole thing down. [b] And considering it costs the county a fortune to maintain this two-tiered system[/b], I hope it does get tossed out.  And no, we weren’t rejected.  We decided the whole system was a farce and went private.

No, it doesn't cost a fortune and the state of Virginia requires some sort of gifted program.  So it's this or something else.  [/quote]

Gifted is considered top 2 percent on IQ tests. That would be a much smaller program and thus much less expensive.  This bohemoth isn’t a gifted program.  It is a hugely irresponsible boondoggle with taxpayer funds that fails to even provide some of the gifted kids with the education that you say the state requires.  It is indefensible.[/quote]

Not everyone can afford to go private. And honestly, private is a farce too. [/quote]

No.  It is just what it says it is. You pay for smaller classes and avoiding kids with certain issues.  You pay for higher expectations that are enforced.  But don’t attack private as a way of defending AAP.  This entire string of posts is evidence that it isn’t a gifted program.  Not my facts.  Just helping you see what those facts mean.  It is a bloated tick but it isn’t  a gifted program.[/quote]
