[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And, of course, to stay on topic, it's the same sense of entitlement that leads some Langley pyramid parents to imply their AAP kids shouldn't have to attend Cooper, their under-enrolled base school, until it has been fully renovated. It doesn't seem to matter to them that Kilmer has been overcrowded for years or that Longfellow students attend school in trailers. They want to pay less in taxes, but still have a local public with state-of-the-art facilities.

PP - Langley pyramid AAP students are attending Longfellow, in the trailers.  It's not actually any students' fault that when they redid Longfellow they did not make it big enough.  The issue with not wanting to attend Cooper for AAP is that Cooper doesn't have AAP.  [b]And as of a couple of years ago, had no teachers who seemed interested in teaching at the AAP level, sponsoring academic activities, or being involved and engaged in the academic life of students.  Lots of metrics support this -- TJ admissions (which are highly dependent on teachers' willingness to submit recommendations); nonparticipation in various academic clubs/pursuits (for example the TJ IMO); etc.  Cooper is likely getting better because the word got out that they had to improve and hopefully they will be ready next year.  But as of 2 years ago, Cooper was not ready to teach AAP, in trailers or anywhere.[/b]  [/quote]

What kind of hideous snob are you?  Are schools that offer AAP the only ones good enough for your snowflake?  I've had three kids go through Cooper and each has had a fantastic education and been well-prepared for the rigors of Langley.  Their teachers were quite "involved and engaged in the academic life" of their students.  Have you even had a child attend Cooper?  You clearly haven't or else you would know this.

I would be very, very happy to have Cooper remain free of parents such as yourself.  Cooper has been a fine school all this time, without any AAP nonsense whatsoever.  In fact, I'd say it's been a far healthier environment for kids than the typical AAP factory you see in other schools (Longfellow, Kilmer, Churchill, Colvin Run, Haycock, etc.).  Too bad it's no longer going to remain that way, thanks to moronic parents like you.[/quote]

Thanks for dumping them on us at Longfellow.[/quote]

With parents like the ones on this thread, I can hardly blame them. [/quote]
