[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are great.  They are taught by excellent teachers.  They are supported by an active parent community and PTA.  Many parents have no idea who is center and who is gen. ed.  In a school that big, your kid will not know all the kids anyway, so they know their classmates, whoever they might be.  
The whole school benefits from the resources and energy brought by the center.

Being in the center is not elitist or a badge of honor.  It is just a placement to serve a need.

I feel there is a very small, but very vocal group of non-center parents who spread the rumor that non-center kids are stigmatized at Haycock.

By the way, Haycock is not the only center and neighborhood school.  This is a well-established system in FCPS.[/quote]

There are too many now in AAP to call it serving a need.  I have been a parent of a child at a large center so please stop with the BS.  Haycock and Longfellow were/are the center of the world for some.  I would not be surprised if some schools remain at Longfellow and don't have to go to AAP at Cooper.  Franklin Sherman despite being a split feeder to Langley [plus closer] didn't get sent to Churchill.  Odd.  [/quote]
