[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It really doesn’t matter. The “gifted services”  at APS are lip service. At Williamsburg, my kid’s teacher didn’t even know they were identified as gifted at parent teacher conferences when I asked about differentiation. It’s just in place to make striver Arlington parents feel better. I believe APS is mostly able meet the needs of children who are gifted in Math, but English is a joke.

At least in elementary, math isn’t differentiated in any meaningful way, either. It’s a complete farce. The English curriculum actually looks like it could differentiate if someone attempted to do it.

I had no idea how terrible APS was for gifted education and I am so sad at our experience. [/quote]

+1 It is bad.  Early on, we were told to sit tight and wait for 3rd grade.  We never saw any differentiation at all in elementary.  They need to stop pretending there’s a “program.”[/quote]
They don’t. It’s gifted services [/quote]

thank you. if you want a program, move to Fairfax. That system is quite different, with some advantages and disadvantages. [/quote]

If a kid doesn’t get into an AAP, are there any gifted services at the regular schools? [/quote]
