[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because risk of “failing out” is not appropriate for young children. Their parents can always decline if it’s not working.[/quote]
Is it appropriate to tell young children that they're not smart and can't be educated in the same classroom as their friends?  Is it appropriate for gen ed advanced math kids to "fail out" of advanced math if they don't get a pass advanced on the SOL?  Is is appropriate for principal placed kids to lose their placement even if they're doing fine, simply because there isn't space?  All of these are very common in FCPS.  Why do you and FCPS only care about the emotional wellbeing of AAP kids and not the bright gen ed kids?[/quote]

If you are so concerned about the fall out of Gen Ed kids, who is stopping them to take WISC, Cogat and any other IQ or eligibility tests? If they score how the AAP kids scored to get into the AAP program, they can join AAP classes. It’s not fair for AAP kids to be evaluated every year. If you don’t want to get evaluated every year, appeal and join AAP classroom. 
In case of kids who are only advanced in math, I’m sure you can stop the fall out by excellent cogat quantitative scores and preforming well on math tests.

Why are you after AAP kids and trying to pull them and their parents down? [/quote]

So a gen Ed kid in advanced math who isn’t gifted, just a very good student, can be sent down if they slip and that’s fine, but an AAP kid who turns out to be a terrible student can’t because they might get sad and that ok somehow? [/quote]

No this is not ok. Kids who are underperforming in AAP should be kicked out too. Feelings and self esteem of ALL kids should be considered. [/quote]
