[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DD was identified as gifted in Math, English, and Art in APS. I have never witnessed any AAP or differentiated instruction in Elem or Middle School even though they say they do it. I have not seen it! Same instruction as the everyone else.[/quote] Most kids in Arlington carry some form of gifted designation and the "general" classes are typically more accelerated. There's no real need for differentiation. We saw the evidence of this when we moved to another system -- our kids were WAY ahead of their peers, which was directly related to Arlington. Arlington in general doesn't fuss with the AAP silliness and the labeling. Most parents see that it's pretty silly.[/quote] Student performance in APS peaks, in relative terms, in elementary school and diminishes as the kids move on to middle and high school. [/quote]
