[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The standard in AAP isn't all that high.  People need to get over it.  Every kid in FCPS can and should be able to succeed in an AAP classroom.  The notion that AAP is special is ridiculous.  Let's stop watering down our school curriculums and push every kid towards excellence. [/quote]

It's hard to see, when your kid has an easy time with school, but many many kids actually don't.  They have a hard time with 3rd grade, with 4th, 5th, 6th grade.  They have a hard time with 2nd grade and 1st grade.

Not every kid needs, wants, or should have the AAP curriculum.  Get out of your bubble.  [/quote]

Absolutely agree. I am perplexed when my DC's friends ask me to spell words when they're crafting, like "great" or "money." These are 5th graders. There's no chance they would be successful in an AAP classroom. [/quote]

The ability to spell has nothing to do with intelligence. Richard Branson, founder of Virgin,  has dyslexia and still can’t do cross wards but he is a genius.[/quote]

Are you at all serious? Do you really think kids in Level IV are master spellers? They can't spell either.  AAP doesn't judge on spelling. [/quote]

I certainly don't think they are master spellers, but they have the motivation to try versus asking an adult or Alexa to spell every little word for them. That's my experience, YMMV.[/quote]
