[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][/quote] [list]Hate to sterotype but it seems to be the AAP boarderline kids parents who go "off the deep end". Maybe these parents should consider leaving their children to succeed on their "own potential" and not push them to fill their parents dreams of success.[/quote] So much division and judgement! By reading over this and similar threads, I see there is not only a division of the AAP and NON-AAP, but also of OBVIOUS AAP and "Borderline" AAP, preppers and non-preppers and the broadcasters of "my child is gifted!" and the non-broadcasters (except maybe anonymously on DCUM to get it out somewhere, bc they are bursting to tell SOMEONE how amazing their kids is.) Craziness. So many silly categories. I wish all the kids could all just get what they need at their base school! [/quote][list]+1 - it make no sense to constantly "adjust" the acceptance standards to accommodate more kids who could, and should, be served in their base schools. IMO, the only kids that should be in an AAP program are the kids who truly need "advanced academics" Maybe the top 5%. Not the top 20%! IMO, the top 20% is just a way of justifying the programs funding! What does this say about FCPS schools that they need to provide an AAP center to accomodate 20% of their students. Come on people this is a great injustice to the AAP and non- AAP children. Just the mere fact they must be divided in an unjustified way is bad enough. Not to mention how it is screwing up the base schools and the AAP centers.[/quote]
