[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole posting makes me sad because it illustrates how desperate many parents are to ensure that their kids are NOT in general education.  That is not a great view to have about the main education program for such a huge county.  In my experience, OPs "drama" has been playing out with nearly every second grade family I know and we are at a supposedly great school.  FCPS needs to deal with this.  IMHO, AAP should be replaced with real GT (truly gifted isn't 20 percent of a class) and the AAP resources redirected back to educating the majority of kids.  The current situation is a perversion of resources in every way.  And it is the reason we are heading to private and not looking back.[/quote]

Do you really think OP's child isn't the top of FCPS with a 160 score and a 148 WISC?

BTW, gifted kids get less money than others. Class sizes are larger and there is no additional teacher. The only gifted kids who get extra money are the ones who get level 3 services. FCPS took a look at the bussing for gifted kids and whether or not to take it out and the cost analysis came out at zero. So with no bussing cost and higher class sizes, AAP kids get the least amount of resources of all FCPS kids.[/quote]
