He shouldn’t lose out on oppertunities because he is at a Center school.

I would love to see the Centers go away, at ES and MS. If you want to be in a different program at your school, fine, but accept that there is a a cost to that and deal.

There is zero reason for Carson to be so big and for Franklin to send so many kids there other than FCPS incompetence.

FCPS should do with Franklin and Carson what they did with Cooper and Johnson. Require that all AAP students attend their base school and access AAP services there.

The people who are so elitist, ethnocentric, and narcissistic that they can't stand the idea of their child being at their own base school will be upset, but the county shouldn't be functioning solely to please those people.

And then they all end up at different high schools. How did that work out for your kid?

Great! My kid found friends going to their high school and simultaneously was able to get away from the kids who annoyed him.

So he can come and take opportunities from kids at Carson and that is ok? Never mind that my AAP Base Carson kid doesn’t have that choice. He has to go to Carson. And now he has fewer chances to participate in clubs because there are kids who should be attending their base school, which is perfectly fine and has an AAP program, because the kids parents don’t want their kid to learn how to deal with the world?

You realize that people don’t like you very much and are annoyed with your kid?

DP, you mean you’re annoyed? I’m a teacher and I can tell you that the kids and the teachers at the school do not care.

The kids care but by the time they are MS kids at Carson they have internalized the message sent by FCPS that they are second class and should let the AAP kids have all the top opportunities. Some rebound in high school, where there is no AAP, and others don’t.

But there’s really no excuse for not sending the AAP kids at Carson from Franklin back to that school.

I have no skin in this game, my children are not at Navy, we're zoned to Carson as our base middle school, so the Franklin/Carson choice is not an issue for us, but I do think it's silly that they have AAP Centers in middle school when children switch for every class, so only AAP kids are going to be in AAP classes anyway, unlike in elementary when kids can be principal placed.

There are kids at Carson who are not AAP that are in different sections. AAP designation means the kids won’t be in class with them. That is what the AAP parents want.

And that is how AAP works in a LLIV middle school, too, PP.

Yes of course, but there are far less AAP students at a LLIV middle school vs. a center AAP middle school. The only AAP students at a LLIV school will come from kids already zoned to go there. Less chance to meet new people if you are in AAP. Center middle schools have the majority of AAP kids come from all different schools which makes for a lot nicer environment and allows kids to meet more people.

What on earth are you taking about? Regardless of whether students go to Carson or Franklin, they will have classes with the same number of other students. Because middle schools do "teams," they will inevitably have at least two classes with a good number of the same students.

My kid who went through AAP at Franklin had classes with students who came from Brookfield, Lees Corner, Oak Hill, Waples Mill, Hunters Woods, and Navy. That allowed them to meet a lot of new people.

Are you dense? There are still way more AAP kids overall at a center school than at a LLIV school.

Obviously. But that doesn't mean that your kid will interact with all those students. I don't think you understand the way FCPS middle schools work.

My Carson AAP kid was in English, science, and social studies with the exact same cohort of students. Her cousin, my nephew, was also AAP at the same time and had core classes with an entirely different cohort of students. Our next door neighbor, also AAP, had the same experience. There was ZERO "mixing" of those cohorts. If they weren't on the same team, they didn't have core classes together. Electives, of course, were different because there were both AAP and general education students in those classes.

I have a Carson AAP kid so I know exactly how it works. There are lots of AAP teams there and they mix in math, PE, and electives (including world language). They also mix during panther time and lunch/recess. There were lots of chances to mix with other AAP kids not on your core team. My child has made so many new AAP friends at Carson.

I suppose my priorities are different than yours. I want my child to interact with other children, regardless if they are AAP or not.

While I want my.child in AAP courses for core subjects, for those are the appropriate academic placement, I couldn't care less whether the other children with whom my child has electives, lunch, Panther Time, and recess are AAP or not.

And that’s why parents get to choose what’s best for their kids. You can choose the center or the base school. For my kid it’s best they are surrounded with more similar peers. I supposed that also is probably why some parents want TJ as well. Sure there are advanced kids at their base high school, but they want a whole school filled with advanced kids.

Good luck in life!

In the "real world" people have different races, cultures, genders, religions, backgrounds, levels of education, intelligence levels, etc. Your desire to have your child surrounded by "similar peers" even at lunch and during Panther Time is not helping your child to learn about and appreciate the differences in people.

But, if you are high performer, or work STEM job, most people will be similiar level of education and interest. You will have high income to get away from problem. Yes occaionsally, have to work with people of entirely differnet background like the repair person or lawn cutting man. But, you can socialize and work with the peer.

College time very nice because everybody very smart, and liking the same movie game, and quoting same movie. Everyone understood.

Oh my.

You're right, everyone of similar intelligence likes and has seen the same movies.

You're right, work is the only place you interact with other people.

You're right, everyone with a high level of education works in STEAM.

Unbelievable.

Somebody not go to engineering school. It VERY nerdy place.

People quoting the very nerdy topic all the time. When you make a joke, they understanding.

Yes, you need high education to work in STEM, or high drive/interlligence to work in the IT place.

You’ll be happy to know my kid didn’t participate in any of the clubs you want so badly to try to start padding your kid’s resume. My kid did one club that was open to anyone without tryouts or limit on numbers.

Engineers and IT people aren’t the only ones in STEM, you know. I have a STEM PhD in a biomedical science and can mingle with non-STEM people just fine. It makes me better at my job. But thanks for the reminder that so many engineers are that fun combination of dorky and arrogant, with a completely unjustified superiority complex. There’s a reason you can only be around people like yourself. The rest of us find you insufferable.

How exactly is this conversation related to the subject of the original post? Perhaps start a new thread complaining about AAP at Carson. FYI, Franklin is not large enough to accommodate the AAP kids so it is for the best that they go to Carson.

Give credit to the Navy principal. He make kiss and ride faster. He putting the teacher at top off hill to make the parents drop child further back.

Celebrate!

If Franklin had a formal AAP program, Navy kids would no worse off going there than Carson. It's just turned into a status thing to say your kid is in AAP at Carson or Rocky Run and has found their "tribe" there, as if they'd fall apart if they were exposed to slightly more non-AAP kids during the day at a different middle school.

Rocky Run is the only option for Liberty and Stone kids. It isn’t a status thing; we don’t have a choice.
