Equity dictates they will be phased out entirely in APS.

Ugh who cares??

+1. They just say they have it to be in compliance with state law. It is a joke and pretty much nonexistent.

If it's non-existent or ineffective, did you bring this up to the RTG or the principal? I can't believe the school can go about not caring about offering gifted services, even if it's shallow compared with FCPS' AAP. What materials have your student been given?

You must be new here. They absolutely don’t care. They have too many kids to deal with.

True.

I think the gifted teacher (in our school there is only one) cares very much and does a great job within the limitations he has. It is absolutely not a priority for anybody else.

But my child really enjoyed her time with the gifted teacher so I don’t really have any complaints.

(I do have major issues with APS curriculum as a whole though)
