[quote=Anonymous][quote]what is your point?  I'm trying to make the point that the way the system is set up it encourages this type of behavior in parents.  It's out of control.  And yes, my DC, by IQ standards, falls in to the genius category.  My DC is still not receiving services to meet her needs because of this setup.  Bring back an actual gifted program and raise the standards in the gen ed classes.  [/quote]
If you have a kid in AAP now chances are good you have no firsthand experience of what the fabled FCPS "actual gifted program" entailed.  What services, exactly, do you believe your genius DC is missing out on in AAP?  What needs are unmet and why are do you believe they are more important than those of other children in the program?  How can you be sure it would make a difference?  Judging by how such children are described here by proud parents, they are unique prodigies who need individually tailored programs.  Is that what you think you'd receive if merely extra smart and advanced students were kicked back to Gen Ed? [/quote]
