[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So it's true, parents try to skimp paying for good schools and shoot to be placed in better ones via aap. Maybe you should pay your share and buy in a good district and use aap as a gateway for the gifted, not a lottery ticket.[/quote]

Exactly! Only the children of well-off parents should get a good education. So glad someone has the courage to say it![/quote]

There are minimum standard sof "good" and all of the FCPS meet this standard. If you wish to be placed with peers that are above standard level of "good" you can pay to live in a more expensive school district without having to go through AAP.

You are asking to get a mercedes for toyota pricing, they both achieve their goals.[/quote]

So it's ok for parents of kids in wealthier neighborhoods to try to get their kids into AAP, but not people with kids in lower performing schools?  Luckily for OP you aren't in charge and you can rant all you want about people skimping because it doesn't impact her or her kid.  You do realize that your tax dollars go toward educating all kids in AAP, whether they are in a title I school or AAP?  Maybe your neighborhood can secede from Fairfax County and only allow  parent who pay above a certain amount of money for their house to attend your public schools.[/quote]
