[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are not the same.  She thinks they are the same because her teachers are not AAP-certified -- and that is what she intends to offer as AAP ... seriously, that's it.  So she thinks 3 or more Honors classes = AAP.  But it simply doesn't.  However, she is clearly putting all parents on notice that Honors classes is what they are going to get as AAP at Cooper -- which fits in well with being able to open AAP at Cooper ... if it was just Honors classes, then they would already have it!  Presto!

See below as well for Fairfax County's own description of AAP ... then Honors.  Yes, Honors is more advanced than GE, but the AAP classes are more advanced than Honors.  The kids move faster, delve deeper, involve more issues of higher reasoning and autonomy in education (hence more science lab work required).  The AAP classes at Longfellow are NOT the same as Honors - much as Honors is not the same as GE.  They offer three levels of classes at AAP centers -- not two masquerading as three.

The prior poster was referring to the principal at Longfellow, not Cooper.  A Longfellow principal ought to have some experience with AAP courses and teacher certifications.[/quote]
