[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've found FCAG to be really helpful to me when I was new to Fairfax County and didn't know about AAP.  And I don't find the discussions to be ego-centric - for me they are mainly informative.  [/quote]

+1. I've been an FCAG member for years and don't know what these other posters are referring to, truly. I think maybe they are not actual FCAG members but part of the growing backlash against AAP, which tends to paint the program in an elitist light. For my kids, it is a special-needs program that made it possible for them to attend public school, fit in socially, and feel at home academically. It is not an accomplishment or a gold star.

+2. I signed up for their yahoo group several years ago, and have always found it to be helpful and informative on all levels of AAP, as well as 2e issues, extracurriculars and camps, and college admissions   They also have several events each year like a summer camp fair, AP/IB info sessions, and , I think, some sessions with school board members that you can attend without paying for a membership ( which I think costs like $10 a year).  Certainly, there are some parents with a very high opinion of their DC,  but the tone is generally more down to earth, and certainly less snarky, than a chuck of the DCUM a AAP (or VA public schools or college)  boards  :shock: [/quote]
