[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good.  It's about time.  It's a tremendous waste of money and resources.

"Base kid" is a common taunt at our center school.

The AAP students are so segregated and operate in their own rarefied air beginning as young as third grade.

Very much an "us v. them" mentality fueled by hyper-competitive parents.

Enough!

The ugly reality is that FCPS is back to ersatz segregation, with the "elites" getting preferential treatment and in some center schools, "base kids" are the minority.

Interesting to note that some of the FCPS center schools HAD to become centers to avoid permanent closure.[/quote]

Completely agree.  And my stomach turns reading threads such as, "Are all AAP Centers (and LLIV) created equal?".  Honestly, who the hell cares if "all AAP centers or LLIV are created equal," when the General Ed students are being ignored in favor of making sure AAP kids "find their peer group"?

I am beyond sick of FCPS catering to AAP kids and parents; providing centers and free transportation to them, not to mention the choice of whether to attend a center or stay in their LLIV program in the first place.  Enough with giving one group of students choices that the other group of students simply doesn't get.  (And for the purpose of this discussion, language immersion [i]is not[/i] a comparable choice, so no need to pretend it is.)[/quote]

Great point! Probably makes sense to get rid of LLIV at many schools.[/quote]
