[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s all about the GBRS is what the parents on kids who don’t have the high IQ tell themselves. High SES white kids with in pool ability scores will get easily. They have to be looking for a reason to reject them. [/quote]

That is definitely not true.  Saw many kids with cogat scores at 99th percentile that didn't get in at a center school. [/quote]

Well, if they are looking to redress "equity" among URMs, isn't that a reason why some "high SES white kids with in pool ability scores" are rejected?  Right or wrong, they are looking for reasons to reject some kids and accept others.

I no longer have any skin in the game.  I wish FCPS offered the appropriate rigor to all bright kids. Unfortunately, a lot of scarce resources are spent in other ways which I consider wasteful.  That's why parents get crazy about trying to get their kids placed in AAP.  [/quote]

I don't think so, I think it is as much specific school cultures as anything else. We are at a low FARMs and ESOL school and people are not worried about AAP. The LLIV program just started and it is a cluster model, no one seems phased by it. A mall percentage of the LIV selected kids go to the Center and a good number of those return to the base school because they like the feel of the base school better then the center school. We are a language immersion school, I am sure that is a part of it, but the kids in Gen Ed don't move in high numbers to the center. And we have had a few kids who left LI for the center and returned to the base in the Gen Ed program and have been happy there.

There are some schools were parents are so focused on LIV that it drives the culture of the school. I strongly suspect that the center schools where people can talk about the Gen Ed and AAP programs is real are these schools were parents place this huge emphasis on AAP. There are other center schools where people don't see a divide and honestly feel like their kid is going to be fine regardless of what program they are in.

In my mind, it comes down to school culture and the parents who are driving that culture. The kids pick up on it and it perpetuates. [/quote]
