[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are so many parents obsessed with an AAP curriculum being implemented in Gen Ed? FCPS already pushes beyond most school district's expectations. There are many average learners who are already challenged by the standard curriculum. They are important, well rounded smart kids too but pushing them beyond their level just to say they are getting the same curriculum isn't fair to them. 
I have an A/B child in high school who has gotten honor roll throughout DC's school career. But DC works for it, it doesn't come easy, just a great work ethic and a great kid. DC would not fare well in an advanced program. In fact I think it would be potentially detrimental emotionally. 
If you want your kids to have more enrichment take that responsibility on yourself. Stop expecting your public school to provide everything. Teach your child another language, go to museums, expose them to other cultures, research, money management and travel to places other than Disneyland, your child will be much better served.

Every time I read this forum it seems that parents are obsessed with which program acronym to attach to their child. Knowledge is so much bigger than that, we should be focused on broadening our children's horizon's, teaching tolerance and kindness. That's what so many are lacking.

LOL. Are you the same poster with Disney hatred on the "missing days of school" thread? Give it a rest. What do you care where people go for family fun trips? [/quote]

the comments were not so much about where people go but [u]when[/u] they go. But you knew that.  (I think?)[/quote]
