[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't mind them keeping AAP, but FCPS needs desperately to figure out how to help the students who are bright, solid upper-middle performers who didn't make the cut.

Our kids were kept in general ed, and were bored out of their minds for years. Bringing home a math worksheet with five problems, and they have been doing the same unit for five weeks. Getting to middle school was the best thing that happened to our kids because they could finally take some classes that challenged them to think. Grade school was a long slog of boredom.[/quote]

I thought the whole idea of equity is everyone gets the same outcome regardless of whether they're smart or slow. This means everyone should be in AAP LLIV and all classes are honors![/quote]

My child's ES is teaching the AAP curriculum to all children and so far it has been very, very successful. Literally the only people complaining are a handful of AAP moms who think their kids are super special and keep threatening to leave for the center next year. Newsflash: your kids aren't super special and the rest of us would be thrilled to be rid of their entitled whining.[/quote]

Honestly, AAP is really only differentiated for the Math. The rest of it is doable across the board. The issue I have is that the kids in the higher reading groups, science groups, and Social Studies areas end up getting no time from the Teacher. [/quote]

You're quoting me and yes, our school is teaching the AAP curriculum to everyone and then the kids switch classrooms for math - there are two advanced math classrooms and two normal math classrooms. It's working out great.[/quote]

They should do this everywhere. [/quote]
