[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you get rid of centers, Fairfax county will turn into Montgomery county. And we all know how much they suck. Leave the bright kids alone. [/quote]

Montgomery Cty. has HGCs - you know, for kids who are actually [b]Highly Gifted[/b].  Totally different from the silly model FCPS has. [/quote]

actually fcps has a larger population of gifted[/quote]

Surely you're not implying that the many kids in AAP are actually "Highly Gifted"?  Because that would be completely ludicrous and laughable.[/quote]
Or so we're told on this board so often it's become part of the background noise, as unsurprising and innocuous as a humming fan.  And don't call PP Shirley.       [/quote]

Okay, mom of 2 in AAP, but let's be fair here.  "Highly gifted" is generally defined as an IQ of 145 or more, which occurs in approximately one out of every 750 kids. Even if FCPS has more gifted or highly gifted kids than average, it's fair to say that if 16-17% of a given grade of kids are in AAP, the vast majority of these are not "highly gifted."  [/quote]

Exactly.  To imply that all, or even most, of the kids in AAP are highly gifted is a joke. [/quote]
