Many of us have noted that in the past that being gifted was required to get into AAP and think it still [i]should be[/i] required.  If the program were restricted to gifted kids, it could once again be a rigorous program that actually meets the needs of the kids whom it is mandated to serve.  The program has been slowed down so much by all of the above average kids, that it no longer adequately serves the gifted kids.  [/quote]

Nope.  I'm totally cool with my very average-in-AAP DD being sent back to the base school, as long as at least half of the AAP kids are sent back as well.  I loved the base school!  I think it's less toxic for both AAP kids and gen ed kids when AAP is a smaller program serving only the kids who are way above and beyond.  Part of the reason that there's so much ill-will and anxiety about AAP is that it's so large that being in seems more the norm for higher SES kids than not being in.[/quote]
