[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was in AAP when it was still called GT. For 6 months during 4th grade I went to the local school and was in gen ed after an inter-county move. Parents thought it would help me to meet the neighborhood kids. Well, I made alot of friends. But it was obvious to me as a fourth grader that I was not getting challenged and not getting the education I needed. Closing centers would be bad for the kids. It'd be bad for the county as well, as it would be a disincentive for families with gifted children to move to or stay in Fairfax. [/quote] Melodrama much? I would be more concerned about budget proposals that make it harder for teachers, such as increasing class size and cutting pay via reduced hours. That would be a disincentive for teachers to find FCPS appealing, which is a bigger problem than a few parents getting snitty about having G/T programs in their home schools rather than getting to say their child is at a center.[/quote]
