[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, the question still stands: At any center, there will still be some handful of kids who are > 1 standard deviation in either math or language arts compared to the other kids in their AAP classroom. How is this handled? Are the exceptionally far ahead kids grouped and instructed together? Are they bumped up to a higher grade for that subject? Or are they just expected to twiddle their thumbs and wait for the other kids to catch up?[/quote] For those kids, parents should really ask for skipping grade(s) or sent to private school or home school. FCPS AAP can not meet these kids needs.[/quote] Or they could cut back the program to about one third of its current size, and send the rest back to Gen Ed. If AAP were less watered down, it might be able to serve the needs of kids who are actually gifted. Half to two-thirds of the kids in AAP are just bright, hard-working kids who would be served fine in Gen Ed. [/quote]
