[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AAP is not the top 10%. The in-pool kids for consideration for AAP are the top 10% of each school. AAP ends up being closer to 20% of the grade level across FCPS.

And yes, some schools are crazy invested into AAP and Navy is one of those schools. [/quote]

Far from the only one.

The worst parents are those with 2E.
I always thought the purpose of AAP was to have the kids who could move faster and learn more independently.  Not so, apparently.[/quote]

One of my kids was 2E. 2E is about having a very high IQ while still have some element of a learning disability, often ADHD. When the learning disability is treated, they can achieve their potential. And my kid never took extra time, by the way, his accommodations were more like sitting in the front row of the class and having 5 minutes at the end of class to get organized and having graphic organizers and more frequent check in with teachers. With this, he went to a TOP 5 college for his (very competitive) major and is going to graduate with honors. So maybe you don't know what you are talking about when it comes to 2E kids.  I will agree all kids deserve a better education and are capable of more than they get, by large but don't blame the parents who push for the best for their kids and if 2E, take advantage of the support offered.[/quote]

Yep. People don't understand 2e, including many teachers. My 2e kid didn't get into AAP and when I requested the packet and saw the teacher comments I was horrified - you would have thought my kid was unteachable. Luckily, I was able to argue for principal placement and the principal placement and we parent -referred two years later with nothing but two years of excellent grades and SOL scores. The only accomodations my kid ever needed was preferential seating and extra time because they don't have the same processing speed. They are thriving now in a BS/MD program. So put it in your pipe and smoke it. [/quote]
