Wow.  So, in your view, parents who have kids with a 140+ IQ and want them to receive appropriate gifted education, as mandated by the state, are whiny special snowflakes, yet the masses of parents with bright, mainstream kids who are expecting their kids to be given a gifted label, bused to a completely different school, and separated from those unwashed masses with IQs and achievement levels only a hair's breadth lower are perfectly fine?  My DD is a very average AAP kid.  She's bright and high achieving, but not gifted.  We're going along with the system, because it is what it is, but the whole thing is really absurd.  Of the 30 kids in her grade who were accepted into LIV, maybe 5 of them really needed it.  The rest are just normal, bright kids.  [/quote]

We just moved from a worse FCPS pyramid to a better one. At our new school, not a big deal because school is full of affluent kids. At our old base, the gen ed caters to low performers. This bothered me greatly when my kid was there. Sure, he probably isn’t really gifted but he did score high and got into aap. I think keeping him at his old non aap school would have been a huge disservice to him. The center aap was great. All the bright kids came together and peer group was excellent. His old base school was 30% ESOL/free lunch.[/quote]
