[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Yes. You obviously don't want to hear from the voice of experience. Has it occurred to you that I may have other children?

The question at hand was from a parent who wanted to hear about the experience of others.  For the record, I made the decision when the program was much more selective--therefore, my child's scores were probably much higher than those being discussed here.[/quote]

When you made the decision SOLs were not such a big part- they were non-existent or in their infancy.  Class sizes were smaller too.  Quite a bit has changed in the past 15+ years.  I don't think your experience is as relevant as you seem to think it is.  Your post only talked about your one child and her experience -not of any other children you may or may not have.[/quote]

NP here.  I had same experience as PP  [b]seven years ago when AAP was still GT [/b]and my child was referred by the AART to the program with near perfect scores on all tests (unprepped), presumably high GBRS and not one finger lifted by me to get child in.  To all involved it wasn't even a question.  Reading these forums today, that often seems to be more the exception.  [/quote]

[b]The county has been using the term "AAP" since 2004 at the very latest [/b](very, very easy to look this up). So your seven-year statement doesn't add up...just one of many inconsistencies when the detractors swoop in to tell their stories (and I'd estimate about 75% of them are indeed stories, not facts).

I normally ignore the trolls, but I do like catching them on blatant lies.[/quote]
Talk about blatant lies....! The name change was in about 2010. Maybe a few people on the school board called it that, but regular people used the obnoxious G&T.[/quote]

It was called AAP when my now 9th grader was in 2nd grade.  So it happened well before 2010.[/quote]
