[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole thread is so racist.

You want to worry about unfair AAP placement?  Check into how many PTA ladies and teachers have their kids in AAP because they pressured the principal or were friendly with the AAP coordinator.  See how many parents paid for private test prep for their first and second graders.  THAT is unfair.  [/quote]

I don't think anyone is saying AAP acceptance is all above the board.  Anyone who has been through this knows that's not the case, even parents who have had their kids accepted into AAP.  Like with all other admissions to any competitive program, there are kids who may be qualified but don't get in because of limits, diversity, subjective read of a recommendation or essay.  The list is long in all the ways the road is paved with subjectivity which inherently brings up a sense of unfairness.  The program is still great and serves a lot of deserving kids, though not all deserving kids.  Let's end the debate there.  There are many parents who are upset because their kids didn't get in this year.  This year is likely a bit of an anomaly because of COVID.  None of us know what happened at Gatehouse during the review or appeals period.  We can only assume it wasn't the normal year.  [/quote]
