[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]21:31 How many GE kids are doing well academically in high school? I'm sure there are a lot but are there statistics of AAP children verses general ed children passing AP courses for instance? My neighbor has a middle school child from GE and says she's excelling and getting great marks, but she's in honor classes which I read on this board is more like GE was growing up. She isn't in any AAP classes in middle school.[/quote]

I have no statistics for you, only my own experiences.  Both my (former GE) kids are excelling in all honors and AP classes in high school, as are their (former GE) classmates.  Honestly, AAP has no bearing on future academic success, as much as some parents would like you to believe it does.  [/quote]

I think the kids who are about to get out of HS are the last cohort who were in ES before the focus on AAP reached a fever pitch.  I am not so sanguine that current GE kids will hit HS equally confident in their own abilities and not keenly aware that FCPS treats them as second-class.  It's time to scale back AAP dramatically, both to save money and put the entire system back on a more solid footing. [/quote]
