[b]My prediction is that the AAP program will be terminated within the next 5 years and that all level IV services will either be eliminated or rolled into level III.

In the end, it all comes down to a question of fairness.[/b]

It is unfair,

- that FFPS spends tens of thousands of dollars each year busing AAP students to AAP center schools.

- It is unfair (and discriminatory) that Black and Hispanic students are underrepresented in AAP classrooms – the NAACP is already working on a position paper to address this…

- that AAP school teachers are required to obtain additional certifications before being allowed to teach AAP making them overqualified when compared to general ed teachers.

- that a significant number of the students in AAP are only marginal students at best and are at risk for developing lifelong psychological problems because their pushy parents forced them into the program

- that online AAP test prep materials are openly sold and are even available online

-that numerous parents clog this forum with questions asking how to get their precious snowflakes in the program by various forms of chicanery including but not limited to cheating and bribery

- that almost all the children of the PTA board members at most schools are in AAP

- that on average, AAP classrooms have more south facing windows giving AAP students 15% more natural sunlight during the school year than non-AAP students

- that at least one AAP student went on an extended Disney vacation during the school year (not holidays) possibility breaking one or more truancy laws

- that the new AAP FAT(ness) test encourages already overweight nerdy students to eat more[/quote]
