[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I might support getting rid of AAP if and when we get rid of Ms and HS sports team that don’t treat everyone (and play), everyone the same. [/quote]

I agree with you. Let’s eliminate sports teams first and then AAP. [/quote]

MS has rec teams and there are no cut teams in high school. More importantly, sports teams are voluntary, not required. Kids are suspended and removed from teams due to bad grades and behavior.

DP.  You're misunderstanding the analogy.  It's about parents and sour grapes, not similarity of program.[/quote]

The analogy is poor because the programs are not analogous.

First, I have not heard of parents who call for sports to be dropped because their kids do not make the team. I have heard of parents who complain about the selection process and they might call for a Coach to be fired because of, what they see as, clear favoritism. But they are not syaing to get rid of the football team.

But more importantly, sports are an extra curricular and not a mandate. Access to a free education is a mandate. We also have the idea that there should be equal opportunity of access to specialized programs. FCPS is getting to the point of equal opportunity of access by expanding Local Level IV so that kids can who are advanced among their peers at school have a chance to be challenged in a different class.
