AAP is the crown jewel of the FCPS that is worth every cent. It is the envy of most school districts not just in this region but nationally.
You clearly have AAP - UP YOUR A_ _! Get it??? The program sucks and needs to be overhauled in a serious way. Ya know back in the other tracking days people like you thought that was alright to because their kids were benefiting.
I get that it is a hugely popular and successful program. Very happy witht eh instructors, curriculum and having DC around the other smart kids.

AAP and FLES both need to go. But, for the record, AAP costs lots more and has lots of incidental costs that are difficult to measure.

There are far more expensive and wasteful programs, like FLES.

How did that help you? Proved MY point.
Absolutely proved my point -- thanks for agreeing!
Um, you need help. As in, time is a'wasting. Run.
Sure.
Advanced academics is a subset of "gifted and talented" -- "gifted and talented" can include the performing and visual arts, etc. FCPS does not have such programs in the performing and visual arts. Thus the distinction.
Where does it say that AAP is a subset of GT? To be clear: I mean other than in your post.

The name was changed not because it wasn't intended to be a gifted program anymore, but to make it clear that it is a gifted program based on academics, but not for those gifted in the arts. While in practice it is just an accelerated academic program, on paper it is justified as a gifted program. Read the statute that authorizes the program and it is very clear on this issue.

I felt the same way and our neighbor told us do it (we were new from out of state) we never regretted for a minute.
