[quote=Anonymous][quote]A simple solution would be to reverse the current approach -- instead of going through all these efforts to select kids for AAP, make AAP the default for FCPS, and create a special program (call it whatever) for those kids who can't keep up or need the extra help. This would also raise the overall standard for elementary education. Even the FCPS AAP is far behind the education standards of other countries, if not other parts of the US.[/quote] Yes, make AAP the standard curriculum for all kids. Have a separate program for the kids "who can't keep up or need the extra help," as noted above. And then have a small program for the four or five percent of kids who learn and understand new things so quickly that they really need a different learning environment than the regular classroom. Those kids do better in a really different learning situation and with teachers who understand how they are different and can support educational needs. [/quote]
