[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I completely agree with OP. Every school should be implementing the Level IV curriculum across the board. This alone would make our entire school system exceptional rather than just for a subgroup of students and mediocre for the rest. [b]That same curriculum can be accelerated WITHIN the base school for the extremely high IQ students (this would be a much smaller number than the current AAP population) with pullouts with specialists and those that need additional support can also be given extra help WITHIN the base school via pullouts with specialists (as is already the case). [/b] With normal pacing, every average to above-average kid will do just fine with the Level IV curriculum and this is the [u]vast majority[/u] of FCPS. Why are we expecting excellent curriculum for just a subset of our students, why not for the majority? Dear Dr. Garza, FCPS needs to wake up and see that catering to the few will in the end deteriorate our entire school system. [/quote] Having done this with a highly gifted child, and done the center program, the AAP center model is far superior to what you are suggesting, and provides the best opportunity to meeting the needs of highly gifted kids.[/quote]
