Gee, that never happens (as we see our national insurance model turned upside down; as my DH faces a layoff due to a merger; as my health-nut aunt is diagnosed with breast cancer; etc. etc.).

There are no guarantees in life.[/quote]

AAP is an extra, not a guarantee.  This is public school, after all.  There are other children to think about as well.[/quote]

I don't think AAP is viewed as an extra in Fairfax County schools. [b] I think it is viewed as similar to special ed so it's a little harder to get rid of.[/quote][/b]

But that's just the thing.  It's[b] NOT [/b]special ed because it was CHANGED (see above, "rules changed in middle of game" reference) to allow kids who would never qualify for a special education for their giftedness in a MILLION YEARS to get in!    It's not equitable.  It's not fair to equally bright kids in GE and it's not how you run a public education system.  It's also potentially discriminatory since not all super-bright FCPS students have an equal chance in the admissions process.[/quote]

Assuming the FCPS AAP office has done this intentionally, one has to wonder why?  Why would they allow it?
