[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My three kids have all been placed into AAP without a shred of anything that would resemble prepping.

For all the preppers:  have you ever wondered why some of us are able to trust that our kids can get into AAP without any prepping?  Do you wish you could have that same confidence?  In my case, it honestly didn't matter to me, and yet my kids each surprised me when they got in.  Not surprised because I didn't think they were bright, but surprised because I see all the people around me in my community who work so damn hard to ensure their kids measure up and I just let it be.  [b]And surprised because none of them are overachievers or perfectionists or anything that resembles a "gifted" child[/b].  Just naturally bright, inquisitive kids who play outside, ride their bikes, play video games, etc.[/quote]

That's because most likely they are not. [/quote]

I don't know if they are or aren't "gifted" (and couldn't care less) but FCPS says they qualify for the program without any extra effort.  That is my point.  It's INSIDE of them, not coming from the outside.  That is who the program was intended to serve.  [/quote]
