[quote=Anonymous]The same answer applies for this thread as well as the "why do people appeal thread". FCPS is trapped in this vicious cycle wherein AAP includes too many kids, which in turn waters down both AAP and gen ed. This makes the parents of the top gen ed kids want their kids in AAP, since with both systems watered down, their gen ed kids aren't getting their needs met in gen ed and are fully capable of handling watered-down AAP. Of course people with above average kids in FCPS want to prep, appeal, or do whatever it takes to get into AAP. At this point, any above average kid can handle AAP just fine, but will probably be bored in gen ed. This cycle has been repeated for the last 15 or so years, and over the course of that time, the AAP population has risen from about 5-6% of the student population to 20%. [/quote]
