[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, average kids with a high aptitude and motivation for learning can and do flourish in aap.[b] Note, it is no longer GT.[/b] High scoring kids with little motivation don't necessarily get into aap. High scoring kids with motivation flourish in aap. [b]Advanced academics is just that...it's advanced[/b] and should be open to all that apply and that have decent GBRS. Fwiw, my dc was 99% on NNAT, 99% on CogAT, and 16 on GBRS. Most of DC friends in aap did not score like dc, but are just as great of students. Some struggle, even those with similar scores. I think aap centers should go away and fcps should offer aap to every student that wants the challenge. Why not?[/quote]

The name change from GT to Advanced Academics was just that-just a name change. Nothing about the program changed. The intent was to emphasize that the program addresses academic talent, and not the many other types of talents children may have.

The name change did not change the purpose of the program, it is still a program for children whose academic needs cannot be met in the regular classroom.
