[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]AAP is feeder to TJ 
if you don't get b in there, life goes on, one can still do well in college and life, but you went to the best high school in the us, academically speaking.[/quote]

AAP is not a feeder to TJ.  Correlation does not equal causation. [/quote]

almost all the kids at TJ were in AAP. They're the cream of the crop academically. They were identified as such early on and put in an academic environment best suited for them. 
What would have happened if there was no AAP and these kids all were Gen Ed during 3-8 is speculation.  Luckily, we have AAP here in Fairfax County.[/quote]

I would agree that the kids at TJ are the top academic performers.  But to imply that all the kids in AAP are at this level is frankly, laughable.  Very, very few kids are admitted to TJ.  Most kids are not.  Which makes it crystal clear to all exactly who are the "top" kids.  Hint:  [i]not[/i] the run-of-the-mill, dime a dozen, mainstream AAP kids.  It must be such a shock and disappointment when TJ rejections come out!

And if there was no AAP and those poor kids wound up in Gen Ed, the top performers would remain just that.  It doesn't take a lukewarm, faux "gifted" program to nurture those who truly have gifts.  How else would you explain the many top performers in high school who were never in AAP to begin with?[/quote]

Data please on the "many top performers" who were not AAP.  And real data, not just what your kids' friends are up to. [/quote]

It's pretty obvious you don't have kids in high school yet.  :shock: [/quote]
