[quote=Anonymous]Does anyone have a 2E in the AAP, and was it a challenge to get in?  DC received two qualifying scores (including a near-perfect score on the NNAT).  However, although DC is obedient and has decent grades, DC is slow, not particularly self-motivated and thus does not stand out as a model student.  I see DC's quit wit, inventiveness and insights at home, but I can tell they are not seeing it in the classroom.  Also, doing homework, particularly writing, often is like pulling teeth.  DC has advanced ideas, but it's hard to get them on paper.

If DC doesn't qualify because of GBRS, what other viable options (besides appeal) are there?  I'm concerned that general ed might not fit DC's learning style.  Drill and practice is frustrating for DC, and it seems DC misses or tunes out teacher instructions half the time (he fails to timely complete some in-class assigments), yet performs pretty well on tests.  I see DC coasting along without realizing his full potential unless something changes. What options are there in FCPS for the very bright but underachieving child?[/quote]
