Haycock is a center school that feeds into Longfellow. Longfellow is one of the top feeders to TJ. Many families purposely buy/rent in Haycock for this reason. [/quote]

Indeed, I think FCPS finds this undesirable and is working to discourage it.  [/quote]

It seems like if FCPS is concerned about the feeder patterns into TJ and wants to change them, breaking up the huge AAP center at Carson would provide more bang for the buck than changing how teachers at Haycock teach math and science to younger kids..

I'm not sure we're getting the full picture on this thread as to why the principal wants to change the instructional model, and what the pros and cons may be.  There is a certain logic to "if it ain't broke, don't fix it," but perhaps there was something about the existing model that the principal and/or others think it less than optimal.

On the other hand, changing the model just because it's different than the model at other schools seems silly, since FCPS is big and there are plenty of other ways in which different schools allowed to offer different programs to different students (PYP/MYP, IB, AP, AAP, ESOL, language immersion, AVID/Young Scholars, etc.).
