[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I prepped my child, and I am glad I did. He is in the pool and he will be admitted based upon his other academic credentials. He will be challenged and get better teachers and be among better, more serious classmates. He will learn good study habits and more material. He will then be better prepared for AP classes and high school. This will advance him in his class ranking, grades, and SATs. He will do better as a result, get into a better college and then get a better job and career. He will make more money, live in a bigger house, attract a prettier wife, and join a nice country club. He will learn the value of being prepared and teach this to his children by prepping them when they are in second grade. As a result they will be admitted to AAP and will repeat their in their fathers success.[/quote] I have to assume this passage is a parody.[/quote] I love trolls, especially on DCUM. Only problem is its hard, and probably sad, that some may really not be trolls. This thread is living up to the entertainment I enjoy here. Carry on! :lol: [/quote] OP of the passage here. I am no troll. Don't kid yourself, all opportunities build on prior opportunity. I know, not in all cases, there are great success stories from those who came from no opportunity or who came from bad circumstance, but the majority of success stories are the result of good breaks and the best learning environment. Do you not think that those who do best in high school in Fairfax County come from AAP? Do you not think that those who do best in High School do best in college admission and go to the best universities? Do you not think that those who go to the best universities get the best jobs or go on to become doctors, lawyers, or academics? I realize that AAP students are inately smart, but the rigors of the program make all the kids better students in the long run, better than those in the general program. Yes it is parody, but it is true. I want my DC to have the best opportunity to succeed and I will do whatever I can to provide that path to her.[/quote]
