[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fairfax hasn't produced the next Terence Tao, so no there aren't any geniuses or prodigies here. And if there were, it obviously wouldn't be because of AAP. Prodigues are doing university math in early ES way before FCPS has a chance to get involved.[/quote True, and it just doesn't matter, because the "very bright" + "hard working" are going to do just fine in AAP and more importantly, in the long run in their lives beyond ES. The bona fide geniuses, while amazing, have a harder time because they have no peer group and are looked at as freaks by their classmates. Furthermore, their parents may not know how to parent kids who are smarter than they are. [/quote]
