[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's nothing compared to the pressure of making the travel teams in sports.

It's part of growing up.  Other kids & their parents have different priorities.  Raise your kid, others will raise theirs, time will tell who wins.

Quit worrying about what other people do and focus on your own priorities...that's a life lesson really.[/quote]

I agree with your last paragraph, [b] but unfortunately FCPS has made it difficult to do this with the over - emphasis on AAP.  [/b]Kids who would otherwise not give it a second thought are being inundated with constant discussion of test scores and "who's in, who's out," coming from parents and peers alike.  It's really become a huge circus and I can't wait until my kids are out of this environment. [/quote]

No, FCPS is not the problem. It's the PARENTS who feel like their snowflake will melt away if they don't get into the AAP center. They have bright kids whose needs are being met in the gen ed class, but somehow the parents are obsessed with doing anything and everything to get their child into AAP.
