Unfortunately, this is not just Carson, it is EVERY school in FCPS. |

I care, because it's stupid for PP to say that Asian kids (from anywhere in Asia) are or are not the problem. |

I thought parents they would be well behaved because parnets beleive in discipline, I remember my friend would do well in school becuase she knew her parents didn't play. |

This is the case for most of FCPS, unfortunately. I've talked with administrators who say that their hands are tied because of county rules. Schools and central offices don't want angry parents or bad press. Where previously we could make a case for kids to attend an alternative placement, this is now extremely rare and typically only if the family self-selects this option. I am a long-time teacher who has seen all of the negative impacts of schools and parents not holding kids accountable, and I worry about our world as a result. |

Indian parents now are very different from Indian parents 30 years ago. |

Sounds like a corhort of *parents* who didn't rise to the challenge, and not the kids. I have a 7th grader, and that group was quite fine as 6th graders and have had no major issues in MS. |

There are no special AAP electives at Carson. They are the same as everywhere else. |

They mix teams for electives and there are so many teams that they don't have AAP science, history, English at the same time. Like Majestic AAP kids could have their core classes in 1st 3rd, and 6th period while Dolphin AAP classes are 2nd, 4th, and 5th. Not to mention that math is a different track than AAP and at all different times. There are definitely children of all levels in my kid's PE class and electives because they've mentioned that it's nice to have X person in their classes again. |

+1 This is a parent issue, not a school issue. |

Yes we know that. PP was just saying her kid didn’t interact with many. Relax. |

+1. This is happening everywhere, not just FCPS. Schools refuse to let anyone fail or give actual consequences for bad behavior. Great, the administration gets a reward because they reduced suspensions by 95%! Meanwhile students are damaging school property, fighting, and stealing during the school day and most of the experienced teachers are updating their resumes. As a bonus, the parents of the well behaved kids, especially girls, start looking at private school because they're fed up. |

True. Every counselor in FCPS is involuntarily forced into indoctrination in “restorative justice techniques.” It is analogous to re-traumatizing the child victim by dragging them back in front of the child who bullied them. It never works to reduce the problem. |

It sounds like you did not read the post I was replying to, it said: At Carson they have teams which have similar schedules, so you are going to have a lot of AAP kids grouped together even in the electives. AAP kids are together on the same team. That person was clearly wrong. No need to tell anyone to relax except yourself since you seem to be so upset by this. |

Can victims opt out? |

No one was wrong, everyone has a different experience based on their personal schedule. Some AAP kids will have similar schedulers and some electives might indeed have more AAP kids than gen Ed kids and that could be because of the teams. Or just randomly by chance. Please relax about it. It really doesn’t matter what the make up of the classes is. Some of the AAP kids are going to stick with who they know which probably ends up being AAP kids anyway. Again, relax about it. Who cares what someone says if it’s not your experience. |
