[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fairfax County may be getting the new FBI headquarters. Virginia got Amazon also. Maryland has more of a health focus, with NIH and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services located there. Fairfax and Arlington Counties have amazing interconnected bike paths. Virginia has more college options for kids so it could be better to be in state there.

How are GT (gifted and talented) types of programs handled in Bethesda? In Vienna, through Fairfax County, there’s a program called AAP (Advanced Academic Programs) for third through eighth grade. It can be divisive and cause stress to families and discouragement to some students, while enriching others. Kids selected are separated from others and attend classes at AAP centers located at some of the schools. (There are some cases where a school will have a local AAP program with kids staying at their original school and no one else coming in.) DCUM has a separate AAP forum, reflecting the importance of and strong feelings around this program. [/quote]

Aren't a huge percentage of kids accepted to AAP every year?  I read parents complaining that it is hardly accelerated at all.  [/quote]
