[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Local Level 4 Teacher here. My school has one AAP class per year and my team is strong with a ton of experience. It irritates me that kids can get a great education at their neighborhood school but can choose to go elsewhere cause of the label of going to the center. Going to a center does not mean your child is getting a more elite education. I looked into some VGA data and was surprised that many Local Level 4s outperformed in midwinter testing than the centers. Next year every child is getting the same basal instruction regardless of level. 5th grade AAP will be getting the 5th grade basal and 6th grade will be using 6th grade. I am all for AAP but the center program is a waste of resources. [/quote]

I agree that centers are a waste of resources - as is the associated busing.  FCPS talks a big game about "equity" but allowing certain kids (AAP) to choose between their base school or the center while GE kids have no such choice is the very definition of INequity.  Boggles my mind that it's still going on.[/quote]

AAP here and couldn't agree with these comments more. Please just end the busing.[/quote]
