[quote=Anonymous]I got my kids into AAP because the general education classes are the equivalent of a daycare center, except in rare instances usually due to an amazing teacher. The behavior in the general classes is not great. The class moves slower just because of the constant need to redirect kids that are there only to socialize. You should substitute at an elementary school and then maybe you'd understand. There is no way I would send my kids to FCPS if they were in a general class. It's daycare. Sadly, there are kids in general classes being held back because their parents don't want to push anything and get a WISC and appeal the AAP decision. It's a shame FCPS doesn't open AAP to highly motivated students that can perform at that level. I'm talking about the kids rated as 3s.

The kids that turn to chemicals are usually the kids whose parents don't push them to develop their intellect or hobbies. They have tons of time on their hands and don't develop the self-esteem that comes from hard work and accomplishment. Also, the kids they hang out with are going to be the ones that don't have anything going on either. These are the kids vaping and/or smoking marijuana in the bathroom at school.[/quote]
