Except AAP is not some specialized program for gifted kids. It’s AAP. [/quote]
Except AAP is what FCPS uses to meet the gifted mandate set forth by the Virginia DOE.  Thus it by definition is intended to serve the needs of gifted kids.[/quote]

The gifted mandate is worthless. They could and many districts do serve the gifted population with a weekly 1-hr pullout. AAP is designed to meet different needs. [/quote]
What different needs?  I didn't realize that [b]slightly above average, hothoused, UMC kids [/b]had any special needs that necessitated removal from a regular classroom.  Most of those kids will bloom wherever they're planted.  Gifted kids actually have different needs which can't be met in the regular classroom or in a weekly 1 hour pullout.  So, what's the point of AAP if it's not to serve the needs of gifted kids rather than the wants of UMC parents?[/quote]

More like the special needs of the parents of these kids who want their kids to be separated from the masses and told they are special. [/quote]
