[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] If you all are so unhappy with the school, then why do you still send your children here? Why don’t you send them to private school or just move? This is a well-to-do area so you probably have the means to do that. Otherwise, why don’t you make your voice heard instead of commenting anonymously on this site? Go to the school and request a meeting or speak with your PTO person to hold a meeting with the admin? Instead of fueling the fire, try to find solutions with the school.

It’s not that difficult. Besides, being a new member to this community I have heard lots of rumblings and have found many of them to be untrue. This is the same community that preps their kids for the tests in first and second grade. Why are we focusing so much on aap when we should be focusing on our kid’s character and happiness.

You do know that most people can't just pick up and move, or send their kids to private, right?  And plenty of us *have* spoken to the administration about the very stark division between the AAP kids and the GE kids.  Segregation at its finest.  We can also come here, to an anonymous website, and vent.  The two aren't mutually exclusive.

You say you are a new member to this community.  Do your kids attend CRES?  Have they reached the 3rd grade yet, when the kids are herded into either AAP or GE classrooms, shutting the door (literally) on friendships that had developed in K-2?  If not, I wish you well.  You really won't understand what we're talking about until your kid experiences the absurdity that is an AAP center.[/quote]

Actually, anyone who can afford the Colvin Run district (one of the most expensive in the region) and is that opposed to AAP ought to be able to pick up and move to a school that isn’t an AAP center or another jurisdiction. Instead, you’ve been ranting about Colvin Run for years and sock puppeting your own posts.  Other people there are very happy.[/quote]

Pardon me?  How on earth would you know what I've posted and when?  There are plenty of CRES parents who feel that AAP has ruined what could be a nice neighborhood school.  But sure, take the lazy way out and accuse those you disagree with of "sock puppeting" their posts.  Really doesn't reflect well on [b]you[/b], btw.[/quote]
