[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Funny how people want everything to be given to them for free under the term of "equal". Nothing in life is free. You have to work for it!

Everyone gets to take the test.  [b]If you score high enough you get into AAP if not then you don't.  Sounds pretty darn equal to me. [/b] [/quote]

And if you don't score high enough and your parents push enough, maybe you get in too.  Remind me again how that is "equal?"   It's not, tilts towards parents who have the time and resources and knowledge of the system.[/quote]

Which is why AAP is so overcrowded in the McLean, Vienna, Great Falls areas.  Pushy parents who are used to getting what they want and who know exactly how and when to refer, appeal, etc.  If you parent refer in our center school, your child will get in, regardless of test scores.  No wonder AAP has become a joke.[/quote]

Which center school?[/quote]

Hum...let's see McLean, Vienna, Great Falls...take a guess which center the poster was referencing.  However, it is not just one center it is all centers.  It is not equal.  It is tracking.  And to the poster who said if you score high enough you get in...you are absolutely wrong.  Read the criteria for inclusion it is so subjective for a reason... so the "selection committee" can put whomever they want in there.[/quote]
