[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Absolutely the kids talk about this. I am sorry Op. [b]AAP sucks[/b]. Damage control time. Strengthen relationships with friends who will remain. Immediately. Do not chase the friends who will be leaving.[/quote]

AAP doesn’t suck. Not allowing gifted and talented kids the space to grow and be challenged sucks. [/quote]

AAP is not a gifted and talented program. So yes, it does suck.[/quote]

Of course it's not for the gifted.  Anyone who is delusional enough to think otherwise is... incorrect.

That said, availability of AAP is the best thing about FCPS.  [/quote]

Parents who are upset that their child didn’t get placed in AAP need to stop being so passive about it and actually use the tools available to you to appeal and get them in.
The curriculum is strong and it’s the only escape within fcps from your child having to sit in classrooms where the learning gap is FAR too great to expect overworked and underpaid teachers to pay attention to your little Johnny’s needs and progress. The teachers in gen ed are wonderful, but they have to spend most of their time dodging desks being thrown at them by kids who are dealing with trauma at home, or worrying about getting that 4th grader who is four grades behind reading level to be able to read or helping the kid who doesn’t know how to add or subtract and that means if your kid is in gen ed and doing “fine” then they aren’t getting their specific needs addressed. In the AAP class, the teacher can teach all the students at the same level. And that’s a huge advantage. 
It’s not the AAP program that sucks.
It’s the impossible expectations we put on all the other teachers to be able to instruct a non-AAP classroom of learners with vastly varied levels of aptitude/performance/need at the same time that sucks
