[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, you are not even part of that community, but you find something so wrong with that field trip, because of the gossip that it creates.

You should run for the school board and really make a positive change. [/quote]

You think the AAP program will last forever here and your little field trip doesn't make a difference. It does. Things change. I like AAP for the academic rigor it provides my child. I hate your field trip for the elitism it promotes.[/quote]

DP.  I'm not sure that AAP will continue in any recognizable form much longer, because of threads like these.  Hyper competitive parents who think that AAP is elitist,  because their kids did get in, or didn't get in, may bring about the dismantling of the program.

I hope that doesn't happen, honesty.  But we'll see.[/quote]

Exactly. Most parents are fine either way and don't see AAP as too special but it's stupid parents who either are mad their DC didn't get in - which likely would just water down any teaching at FCPS thus defeating their actual purpose - or the elitest parents with AAP children who think their child is super special and can't hang with the gen eds kids even on a field trip that will ultimately bring the program down. So short sighted. And still after eight years in FCPS I don't see any parents complaining starting up a committee on general ed needs which is really what needs to happen. [/quote]
