[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The posts on this thread disgust me.  "No your AAP child won't interact with the poor, dirty general education population".

THIS is why FCPS needs to get rid of AAP.  Because of racist, classist, disgusting people like you, OP.

And yes, I read your so-called apology.  You're still racist and classist.  Gross.[/quote]

Actually the school she is referring to has a high percentage of minority children, including in the AAP classes. Not all minorities are poor but glad you showed your bias while trying to call others out [/quote]

How do you know which school this is?  And why don't you just say what it is and let people who have experience with it give reviews -- which would be the most useful to OP and everyone else.[/quote]

NP. Curious about this, too. Also, I bet there are very few, if any, AAP centers where >20% of the AAP population is FRM. [/quote]

The pp said that the AAP part has a substsntial minority population, not a substantial poor/FARMS population.  Where did you come up with referring to AAP centers >20% FARMS?

That said, I believe OP is talking about Springfield Estates.  I can tell you that it was a fabulous center under the past principal and would highly reccommend it.  Not sure why you think the PTA is not strongly supported.  Of course, there are a lot of changes with the new leadership and with the Franconia kids leaving for Bush Hill.  I hate that the Franconia kids and parents are shifting because they were the most involved in the PTA...given that they were so close in proximity to SEES.  But, it is a new day and the Lane, Hayfield,  and Island Creek parents will have to step up their involvement if they want to kerp a high quality program and community.  The base school teachers are amazing and should be an example to the test of the county.  What they have been able to do with kids who are learning English and come from very modest means is impressive.  Even though it is a school with two very different populations, they serve both sets very well.

OP, I totally get that this is new to you, but I have btdt and I think you will be glad you sent your child there.  But, if it's not a good fit by xmas, then make a change.  Understand that 3rd grade is an adjustment for most kids because they have homework and higher expectations.   Push through.  Expect some discomfort as your child adapts.  There is nothing to fear![/quote]
