[quote=Anonymous]Hi all,

I went to the Orientation couple of days ago.  I was excited to know if there were any of my DC's friends in that program.
I class volunteered at school year around.  I was surprised rather shocked to see the kids who were selected and the
kids who were not selected.  I am losing complete faith in the selection process.

I was more saddened by the fact that my son's peer group who were top readers and top math group were not 
selected while kids who were struggling with class works were in  the program.  I am starting to believe if some
of the schools are retaining above average kids so their SOL ratings will be high.  The way the new school teachers
talked I dont think it going to be any easy ride for the kids who are selected.  I wonder what kind of information
did those parents put in the package when their progress reports are really not that attractive.

Are teachers/AART/Principal/School losing their perspective of giving the knowledge a kid deserves or is it
just one more school rating game?  If there are any FCPS teachers please give an honest opinion.

People who are offended by the above statement, forgive me.  I am talking about only one experience and I am not generalizing
teachers/parents/principals.  If you have a similar experience please share.[/quote]
