[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's BS because the curriculum is something that should be used in every single classroom in FCPS.  It's not a special curriculum for the highly gifted.
It can easily be used in every GenEd class.

What they should have is one center for extremely gifted kids.  Kids that are off the charts intelligent that simply cannot function in a regular classroom.  Implement a curriculum for them that is truly for highly gifted kids.

The kids in the current AAP would be absolutely fine with the rest of their peers and their peers would do absolutely fine with the current AAP curriculum.

It's has turned into a circus like competition that simply lowers the learning standards for the rest of the general FCPS community.

An MCPS parent here.  I feel the same about MCPS HGC (ES Magnets) and MS Magnets.

Substandard curriculum.  My kid is no genius and he is just cruising through these programs.  The only reason we wanted him to be in these magnet programs because the quality of instruction in the rest of the schools in non-magnet classes is even worse.  And we looked at private schools too and they were even worse than MCPS.  This is mediocre at its best.  [/quote]
