[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So because some people have had different experiences - several negative - they're labeled "trolls"?  Honestly.  Congratulations on your positive experiences with this school.  You do realize that not everyone feels the same way, right?

Stop calling people trolls just because you can't fathom other viewpoints.  [/quote]

People get called trolls when they make sweeping, negative comments that go well beyond sharing their personal experiences. Probably the usual anti-AAP crowd or the Arlington haters who can’t stand how much better the Langley pyramid is than APS.[/quote]

I'm a Langley pyramid parent - and we've been very happy with Cooper and Langley.  It is true, however, that Colvin Run is a very divisive atmosphere for many.  It's not a "sweeping, negative comment" if it's considered true by many parents and kids.  Our kids all went there and one was in AAP - the others in Gen Ed.  Honestly, the difference in education between the two programs is negligible, in our experience.  There's really no reason why they can't merge the two together, or just make AAP the standard curriculum.

At any rate, consider me in agreement with those who don't like the segregation that goes on there (and at any center).  It was MUCH better once the kids entered Cooper (they went there before it also became a center), and Langley was the best by far.

You can try and shout down people whose experiences at CRES don't match yours, but it just makes you look foolish.  Everyone'e entitled to describe their kids' experiences, whether you want to hear them or not.
