[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We moved to FCPS last year, and my DC started his 6th grade year virtually. He was "principal placed" to the school's Level 4 AAP. We officially submitted an application for the AAP for 7th grade (an AAP center school) but rejected. His 6th grade AAP teacher recommended to register all honors classes in 7th grade. Middle school says, the AAP and Honors classes have the same curriculum and teachers. We asked, "then why the separation"? She didn't really give us an answer, because this is a "polarizing" issue.

At this late in the AAP game (7th grade), what REALLY is a crucial difference between AAP and Honors? Is it worth appealing? I'm Asian and husband is South American...if race really matters in the selective process, wouldn't they want a "Latino" in AAP? But my being Asian cancels that out? and what is GBRS?

The more I learn about the whole system, the more pointless the whole things seems...like shouldn't FCPS be spending more $$ making ALL schools good and solid?? If a kid is truly GIFTED, wouldn't that be really obvious to teachers? Like if there is Mozart in the school orchestra, wouldn't someone notice??

because AAP isn't a program for the truly gifted. Because there is no measure difference between bight gen ed kids and most AAP Kids (the non gifted ones).  Go read the current thread in FCPS about AAP vs. gen ed.  Go read earlier threads about AAP in middle schools (i.e., it's pointless).  [/quote]
