[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since it is no longer a gifted program and it is a FCPS public school this makes more sense to me.[/quote]

Ok, I'll bite -- what is it if "it is no longer a gifted program?" [/quote]

It's a slightly more advanced program using exactly the same curriculum as in Gen Ed.  Not a gifted program by a long shot.[/quote]

Yes, it is covering the Program of Studies (as any parent would expect), but it is not using the same materials and methods, and the AAP curriulum extensions go far deeper and interdisciplinary than in GE.[/quote]

As a parent of both AAP and GE students,  I can attest to the fact that this is just not the case.  It's a pretend 'gifted' program and nothing more.[/quote]

And as a parent of both AAP and GE students,  I can attest to the fact that this is indeed the case.  My guess is (a) that our children are at different schools, and [b]it is well-documented that the delivery of AAP services differs from school to school[/b], and (b) two anecdotes do not make a quantitative case.[/quote]

Yet another reason AAP needs a massive overhaul.  [/quote]
