Interestingly, there are plenty of other parents who have also been paying high taxes all throughout elementary school for a center school which has been dominated by AAP kids.  It's a huge relief for us to have a middle school free of an AAP-focus.  [/quote]

Since Cooper would be over capacity if AAP was there now my guess is some neighborhoods  are relieved the AAP is not there.  And why?  South Lakes' Hughes and Herndon are under capacity.  [/quote]

I think arguments about who is entitled to what based on the taxes they pay are red herrings/diversions.

The issue isn't really whether Cooper might be overcrowded if the AAP kids in the Langley pyramid go there.  It's how overcrowded Kilmer and Longfellow will be if something isn't done.  In other words, if continuing to send Cooper AAP kids to Kilmer would contribute to a situation where Kilmer is 300 students over capacity in a year or two, the fact that moving those kids back to Cooper might cause Cooper - which has the lowest enrollment today of any middle school in the county - to be 100 students over capacity shouldn't be a deterrent.  Until new schools are built in the Tysons area, there may not be other options.

Obviously, some Cooper parents like the fact that Cooper does not have AAP but, again, so what, if that's where most of the empty seats currently are?[/b] [/quote]

[b]In a nutshell, what is so very wrong with the FCPS attitude...ready to downsize homes and send my kids to private school. It's about quality, not "where the empty seats are"...[/quote]
