[quote=Anonymous]It's not called "gifted" anymore in FCPS. It's advanced academics, which is different. So imo the motivated smart student has just as much right to be there as the unmotivated gifted student. And as an AAP elementary teacher, I see plenty of kids who should not be in the program (whether it's called gifted or advanced academics), but they have nevertheless been placed there for reasons passing understanding. For those who don't belong and are struggling, that means their needs aren't being appropriately met. Yes, we do differentiation to try and meet everyone's needs as best we can, but some kids should not have been placed there to begin with. So if you have a motivated above average kid, he or she should be fine in the program. [/quote]
