[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We may as well get rid of the program since principals and pushy parents can just demand entry (I know of one at our school who's kid did not get in on his own merits and the principal finally just caved to the kid's mother's demands and put him in). Crazy....[/quote]

This is what happens in LLIVs, to fill/balance classes. And in some places it creates a lot of resentment and a terrible atmosphere. All the people on this Board saying "close the Centers" need to realize that this would come to their ESs.  Most of these people are saying that their GE kids are as smart as the AAP kids.  But realize that more half of the parents in the grade (in our affluent LLIV) are sure their kids should PP. And there are a handful of spots. You think you're unhappy when some central committee refuses to put you DC in AAP at a Center your DC will never see? Wait until you DC does not PP and their bestie does.  All he** breaks loose. I've seen it year after year. I was glad my DCs had the option of staying at their (very strong) local ES as part of their community.  I don't know any parent who wants to put their kids through an unnecessary school change.  But now, I'm starting to regret not moving DCs, because the atmosphere w/PP is nasty. I've seen ADULTS act badly toward my DCs (who are Level IV qualified and did not PP) because they are so upset their child was not PP'd
