[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We did that (moving from Arlington to Fairfax for AAP), and DC is in AAP from grade 3, but we have a mixed feeling.

Our experience of Fairfax so far is much larger classes, less attention from teacher (in Arlington, teacher actually taught how to write, while Fairfax, no), weaker PTA, and probably because of AAP, [b]getting too much computer based research homework[/b], which is in our opinion not helpful in learning.  I understand that it depends on teacher though.  So we are not sure if it was worth sacrificing Arlington's convenience to get Fairfax's AAP program.   [/quote]

[b]That is because of the pandemic, not because of AAP[/b].  My older DC had none of that - then the pandemic and virtual learning changed school.  Parents need to speak up and complain to the teachers, principal, school board members about this new change and how it is detrimental to our children's focus and education.  [/quote]

It depends on the school.  Before the pandemic, my child at an AAP center was still forced to spend too much time on Dreambox or ST Math, and had entirely too many projects that were making slideshows.  [/quote]
