[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will be one of those parents that tutor, push the administration, whatever.  My kid needs the best education possible and I'm not convinced he'll get it in his non-aap school.[/quote]

There is no guarantee he will get it at an AAP school, either. There can be significant behavior/social issues in many of those classrooms that limit learning, particularly in sensitive children. I believe the AAP system in FCPS is thoroughly broken and only benefits parents who want to say their child is in it.

What I find interesting is that FCPS hired a new Superintendent in 2013 and she came in and made a lot of changes - all day kindergarten, later HS start times, major reorganization of the FCPS bureaucracy, etc.  One thing she has shown absolutely no interest in is dismantling or fundamentally restructuring AAP.  Perhaps her assessment, like that of so many parents, is that the array of academic services in FCPS works well.

If people want a one-size-fits-all curriculum where they will never have to worry about someone else's kid testing into a program that does not admit their child, all they have to do is move to Arlington or Loudoun.  [/quote]
