[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]5th grade
Has been principal selected into the AAP class since 3rd.  
Marshall pyramid. 
Teacher/AART referred.  Can’t remember any test scores but gets passed advanced on SOLs.  All we did was parent questionnaire after AART reached out.  Oldest sibling is in full time AAP and currently in MS.  [/quote]

This OP is proof that begging for your child to get principal placed into AAP will eventually get your child into full time AAP. It’s not that her child is smart enough to get into AAP, it’s that she was able to set her child up for success by getting her principal placed. This is why ALL children should be given access to the AAP curriculum and why average kids should be allowed to mix with above average kids. [/quote]
Umm where did you get that I begged my kid to be principal placed ( I didn’t but maybe it makes you feel better to make assumptions) And no not every kid principal placed makes into full time AAP.  A few of the kids who were in my oldest’s level IV class are now taking Honors not AAP in MS.  I also was not the one who referred the youngest above to full time AAP (bc I realized starting in MS, AAP is not as big of a deal). That was the AART.  But here is where I agree with you—I think eligibility for AAP should be reevaluated every year vs deciding on it just based on early ES test scores and 2nd grade teacher reports.  And you also bring up another issue I’ve found with AAP.  It’s not really for gifted kids.  It’s for above average to bright kids.  And if FCPS had a solid gen ed program, parents wouldn’t be so desperate. [/quote]
