[quote=Anonymous]Some people seem to honestly believe that prepping their children for this test simply teaches them to study and work hard to achieve success. 
Others have a product or service to sell and want their customers to believe that prepping their children for this test simply teaches them to study and work hard to achieve success. 
The idea that FCPS is trying to identify kids whose "needs cannot be met in a regular classroom" is one that these folks are simply unwilling to entertain.  They see AAP as a prize to be won by getting a high score on a test rather than an educational setting for kids who are in need of it.
The FCPS view of the program is very different from the "preppers" view and I doubt that the "preppers" could be convinced that the program is different from what they think it is. As someone with a background in education, I think that the teachers know which kids have a real need to be in AAP and which don't, so I do think it all works out in the end for both sets of kids.[/quote]
