[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Man, I'm so glad to be in LCPS. How do you put up with all of this AAP BS? It sounds stressful and dysfunctional.[/quote]

People chill out as their kids get older.  LCPS has always seemed kind of basic and cookie-cutter, so I'm happy to have the additional differentiation and options offered in FCPS. [/quote]

LCPS has a real gifted program, so I'm not sure what you're talking about. They also have Academics of Loudoun. Plus, AP courses in the higher grades.

I'll happily take that over all of the crap you people put up with.[/quote]

The SEARCH and FUTURA programs in LCPS is similar to what the gifted and talented programs in FCPS elementary schools used to look like 25-30 years ago. More enrichment, project-based pull-out time for gifted children. It was great! Not sure why FCPS abandoned that for AAP.[/quote]

I have friends in loudon in the futura program and it doesn’t sound appealing to me at all. My friend’s child gets bused to another school one day per week and has to make up work that was missed. Sounds really disruptive to me.

My two kids are at an AAP center where all their classes are full of AAP kids. They have an excellent peer group. Our center school also has strong academic programs like science Olympiad, math counts, National lit, chess club, theater, etc. our old base schools had none of that.[/quote]
