[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm really confused as to why people who have children who score under 135 on a NNAT, CogAT, WISC or any other allowed test, think their child needs AAP and would somehow be disadvantaged in a general education classroom in a place like FCPS when the average score in a general education class is probably 119 - 134 anyway. Why does your child need AAP?[/quote]

[b]My kid is 125, and I want to leave him in the AAP.  What bothers me are the kids over 135.  Why are they not moved to the next grade in general education?  [/quote]

I have a kid that is way over 135.  AAP is still moving too slow for her.  She needs an actual gifted program.  I'm not sure moving her to the next grade would work.  I think it would still move too slow, there wouldn't be enough deep diving into subjects as they try to do in AAP (still not enough yet, but closer then gen ed).  Also, concerns over maturity level of mixing kids that far apart in age.[/quote]

Wow. When parents start asking why the truly brilliant kids aren't moved out of AAP and up a grade (into General Ed, no less) , you KNOW AAP has lost its way.  Talk about misguided entitlement.  Your 125 kid (is that even a thing? creepy) is slightly above average for around here, i.e., nothing special.  He/she is what Gen. Ed was created for.  [/quote]
