[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]100% ^PP!! The principal is always talking about how Colvin Run is a role model for other FCPS and if a program can’t work here it won’t work in other FCPS schools. If he truly wanted to make a difference in all children's success and self-esteem he would advocate to eliminate the whole aap level 4 application process (and the ridiculous appeal portion) and stop labeling kids and let the teachers place the truly gifted/advanced kids in the same class without even labeling anybody as aap or gen ed. That’s how private schools do it without upsetting kids and parents. This principal tells all new parents that Cres is a public private school,but it’s far from it. Private schools also give all kids a chance to excel at deeper learning because they know most kids will meet high expectations. By dividing kids into aap and gen ed you’re basically tell a group of kids they lack potential. It’s actually very sad.[/quote]

[b]You’re forgetting that private school won’t even accept certain gen ed students.[/b] So the kids they tend to get are higher ahcieving and can do the work to begin with.[/quote]

DP - this is simply false.  Lots of Gen Ed kids leave to go to privates, in large part because their parents are sick of the whole GE/AAP divide.  Of course, all of that nonsense is over by high school, but we know a lot of families who left for private while their kids were in elementary due to the AAP idiocy.[/quote]

I said certain gen ed students. I meant special ed. A lot of privates won’t take them Bc they don’t have the resources to handle them.[/quote]

Special ed is not General Ed.  Many special ed kids may be integrated within Gen Ed, but they are still considered special ed.  [/quote]

They are in a gen ed class and are receiving special ed services. They most certainly are gen ed kids.[/quote]
