[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why APS is really the best school system in the area.   If I were you, I would look at moving to Arlington.[/quote]

What is "this"? I don't like the way AAP is organized and personally feel that a gifted program that serves the needs of kids who are actually gifted (or kids who actually have needs!) would be better. Other than not having AAP, what does the Arlington do well? [/quote]

This article might enlighten you a little bit on some of the benefits and negatives (none of the systems are perfect) :

Also in APS Elementary :

School based programs are delivered:
 * in the regular classroom setting with identified students cluster-grouped with other children
 * with teachers who are specifically trained in elements of gifted education including best practices in differentiated instruction 
 * through curriculum, which is differentiated or extended from concepts in the prescribed curriculum and, when appropriate, opportunities for acceleration and advanced studies are provided
 * according to a collaborative resource model in which the classroom teacher works with the resource teacher for the gifted to develop and present appropriately differentiated learning experiences for gifted students within the regular classroom. Collaboration Card
