[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mainstreaming kids who are struggling to stay with the class is a step up for them.  Mainstreaming the AAP kids is a step down (academically speaking).

Step up for one group.  Step down for the other.  Not the same.

Bad argument, PP.[/quote]

Oh, no.  It hurts my heart to even consider AAP snowflakes "having" to be educated in the same classroom as the other kids, who might have scored ever so slightly less than them on a test given in 1st and 2nd grade.  It's a miracle that kids manage to do this successfully in other school districts across the country. [/quote]

AAP Center eligibility is not determined by a single test score on a single day. [/quote]

+1. So tired of this argument, because it is false. GBRS, parent commentary, private letters of recommendation & work samples also play a huge role. And if you think the NNAT and COGAT are wrong, you can also get private testing done.  And FCPS will pay for repeat testing after a year or 2. And you can reapply each year through 8th grate. FCPS bends over backwards to do "holistic admissions" and give you the change to present [/quote]
