[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]This is why parents push for AAP. They don't want their kids distracted by these elements in the classroom. Fairfax had so many ESOL kids dumped in the schools that parents with high performing students need an outlet where that wont hinder their kid's learning experience.[/quote]

My white kids were in LLIV in a school in which white kids are in the minority.  Their classrs included high performing students who also happened to be ESOL or the first-generation children of immigrants.  Their learning experience was enhanced by having these kids in their class. The kids are not "dumped" in the schools.  They reside in the county and go to the assigned school.

I hope you aren't passing these values on to your kids. [/quote]

Yes. Money spent on aap should go to improve elementary schools for predominantly black students. [/quote]

Parent involvement has far greater impact...[/quote]

Abolish private purchase of wisc scores that allow wealthy white parents to game the aap appeals process for their snowflakes. [/quote]

How does it do that?  Are you saying that psychologists can be paid off, in exchange for a good score?

FWIW, GMU offers either no or reduced cost WISC to anyone that qualifies.[/quote]

The problem is awareness.  A lot of people don't know about the WISC option, or they don't understand.[/quote]
