[quote=Anonymous][quote]I think anyone who reads this forum knows by now that it's an advanced academics program not a gifted program. I personally am fine with an advanced academics program. I think the gifted label has more negative than positive impact, even for truly gifted kids. I think a lot of people on this board use the "it's not a gifted program" argument to slam the program. I think having an advanced academics program is more inclusive and so view it as a positive. I think having the top 15 or so percent of kids work at a faster, more in-depth pace it a good idea. I also agree that gen ed needs to be beefed up, but spending a bunch of energy on bashing AAP is a waste of time. All that energy should be spent on getting improvements in gen ed. Signed parent of one gen ed and one AAP child.[/quote] Excellent post on many points![/quote]
