As a side note, I agree with you about AAP. It has become a very different program from what GT used to be and it is not providing the services that it was originally meant to.

+1, agree wholeheartedly, and thank you. It is so watered down at this point by relatively mediocre students, so much so that it's unconscionable that certain demographics are left out.

[b]I'd be a lot more okay with the absence of underrepresented groups if AAP Level IV was actually comprised of the cream of the crop[/b].[/quote]
This.  My kid's AAP experience was sitting around and being ignored by the teacher while she worked almost exclusively with the kids in the class who were struggling.  AAP is not supposed to be a way for upper middle class families with mediocre, mildly advanced kids to escape from the poors and the ESOL students, and yet it seems like over half of the kids in AAP are doing exactly that. [b] Since AAP is not serving the needs of gifted kids at all, it might as well at least give a leg up to some above average poor or under-represented kids.[/b]  [/quote]

You and the poster you replied to have an interesting take on things. So in other words, the current AAP program is so dumb that even the minorities should have access to it.

Ya'll are trying real hard to be woke but it doesnt work as well when you have racist thought patterns. [/quote]
